I've spent a lifetime becoming quiet and convenient at great cost to myself and others. My silence left something in me bankrupt. This is to save my voice. By save, I do not mean "to rescue". I mean "save" as in gathering up and holding, replenishing word by word the person I was supposed to be.

I never wanted to write about politics. I wanted to live in anonymity on a farm and write my silly little poems. But I cannot sit quietly while my family carries out an agenda of hate against our country. Even if no one listens, I need to speak up and be willing to share my story in the hopes that it could help someone else.
