We suffer in silence.  War has stolen so much... even our ability to cry. 
Every broken wall hides a story of pain and silence.
Please, don't let our voices fade.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Like everything else in the world, however, there is a price to pay for love, for the more happiness we derive from the existence and companionship of other human beings, the more vulnerable we are when there is any cause for apprehension. It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who live generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1939-04-01), “My Day”

The hole in my heart
Has my body fall apart
I struggle to understand
This unexpected brand

My thoughts tumbling, fumbling
What is this feeling?
My dreams are rumbling, crumbling
Can this be what is stealing?

It’s racism
Causing this schism
A recidivism
Viral nativism

The hole in my heart
Understands its part
That fascism in this land
Has no safe place to stand
