Ellington Mendez
I am from a place of silence.
I didn’t have much of a voice,
everything that happened in my life was decided for me.
I could not stand being quiet.
I am from a place where silence is deafening.
When I have everything to say,
I say nothing.
The speechlessness speaks volumes.
Now I choose my words carefully.
I make every sentence count.
So when I speak,
I am heard
I am from a place of silence.
