HAS NOT BEEN SELECTED AND GERMANY

I’ve stayed silent until now. I’ve been hurt, crushed, excluded—but I stayed silent. Because I believed that one day, every word that needed to be said would find its place. But now it’s no longer time to wait—it’s time to speak. These lines are written in anticipation of something that may very well happen. And…
