Speechless

Each voice is distinct and has something to say. 
Each voice deserves to be heard.”

 “It's easier not to say anything. 
Shut your trap, button your lip, can it. 
All that crap you hear on TV
about communication and expressing feelings is a lie. 
Nobody really wants to hear
what you have to say.”

-- Laurie Halse Anderson, Speak
