How many truths are being carried by people who were once too frightened to speak?
How many times have we accepted the story that someone left, when the truth is that they were pushed?
And how often has the person doing the pushing been someone the world calls respectable?
Because sometimes the people we are told walked away did not walk away at all.
Sometimes they were erased.
And sometimes all it takes to undo forty years of silence is one person deciding, at last, that the truth matters more than fear.
