A sense of knowing
Silence is not, in fact, acquiescence.
That it is, is not a law,
and you are not the law maker.
I choose to speak when I choose to speak.
I keep silent when I choose not to speak.
So you say what you need.
Make your noise.
Posture your power.
It has no affect on my choices.
When I have something I wish to say,
I’ll say it.
