While I lingered inside you, I was the silence in conversation: — You’re folding the laundry today. — I’m not going there on holiday. — I’m staying home today, I’m tired. — I’ve had enough.
The silence grew. You gathered us in one place. It got cramped and suffocating. To cool it down, you reached for a glass, then another.
While I lingered inside you like a bird locked in a cage, you decided to open your mouth and it happened — I could fly away.
You changed everything. Thank you for your courage.
