Keep quiet they said to me
You are only a girl-child
Keep quiet
You are too young to know anything
Keep quiet
You are not as smart as you claim to be
Keep quiet
You have not experienced life yet
Keep quiet
Two words stuck in my head
All the experiences I couldn't share
Became my poetic inspirations
All the words they won't let me say out
I transformed to poems
Now when someone says keep quiet
I smile because it does not hurt as much as it used to
