"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman."<br /> <br /> - Virginia Woolf


You cannot hear me

For you are the reason that

I have gone silent

 

I do not speak for

My voice has left for someone

Who will speak proudly

 

I have not heard it

In so long that I have near

Forgotten it’s sound

 

Silence is louder

Than any word that I could

Have ever uttered
