What remains of a soul when its voice is stripped away?
My skin swaddled me in sinful silence
while your chains choked away any true choice.
You opposed and oppressed my opinions,
then violated and vetoed my voice.
My words judged abusive and abysmal,
unless meek and mutilated like yours.
Cultural cancellation controlled me;
silenced by an echo chamber of censors.
—H, still speaking, even in the silence
