The First Whisper

a place where the silence softens…

Welcome to the quiet you’ve carried for too long.
This is where the silence breaks…not with a scream,
but with the soft, deliberate tremble of truth.
Every poem here is a whisper you weren’t allowed to speak…until now.

…and ends with your first whisper.
