LA SILENCIADA

You noticed. You always notice. You clocked it before anyone said a word. Babe, the way you read a room is honestly a superpower. It's also the reason you never say what you actually think.

The one who sees everything and says almost nothing.

Somewhere along the way, you learned that speaking up had a price. Maybe you said the thing and got shut down. Maybe you said the thing and got punished for being right. So you got quiet. Not because you didn't know. Because you knew too much and nobody wanted to hear it.

You're sitting at the table reading every face like subtitles. You already know who's lying. You already know which story doesn't add up. You have the full picture and you're smiling, nodding, keeping it filed away. Amiga, your brain is running a whole documentary and nobody in the room even knows the cameras are on.

Because the last time you said it out loud, it went badly. Or it went nowhere. Or someone made you feel like you were too much for noticing. So your mouth learned to wait for permission your gut never needed. Honestly, that's not shyness. That's a security system. It just locked you inside, too.

Amiga. The thing you didn't say is still sitting in your chest. It didn't go away just because you swallowed it.

You noticed. You always do. That was never the question.
The only question is what you do with what you see.
Not all of it. Not right now. Just one thing. Out loud.
