Decisions by Tiyana Daw

silence has a huge impact on my life . Not being able to say the things I want to say, because I’m scared I might get screamed at or judged on what I’m saying . Being silent in my house is by force . It’s not by choice . And if I do speak up, there’s always a consequence or backlash for speaking up . Me trying to speak up is like being stuck in quicksand, trying to get out of it before you sink all the way down to the point where there is no point in trying . If I had the choice to speak up, I would be very happy to . But being silent for so long is a hard thing for me to overcome . NO… It’s not a hard thing for me to overcome, just hard for me to speak up when I want to . A DECISION: that’s what I have to do when it comes to being silent .
