I stood silent. As to speak would have meant my own death. I stood silent. As the rivers ran with the blood of the innocent. I stood silent. As my fellow women hung from the trees. I stood silent. As their screams rang out. I stood silent. As they dragged them from their homes. I stood silent. As I faced my own judgment. I didn’t stand silently. As I faced my death. I cursed them all. I showed my truth. I stood silent. And that is my curse. We are all cursed. I just learned to own my curse.
