                                              she came home,
                          having won the first prize again,
                          debates and extempore came as easy to her as breathing,

                          yet having a private conversation was a challenge.
                          ironically, she possessed great public speaking skills,
                          yet, she couldn't tell her father that she didn't want to be a doctor.
                          she made her mother laugh on her silly antics,
                          yet, couldn't tell her that she knew about her father's mistress.
                          she loved annoying her brother,
                          yet, couldn't tell him that she knew he was depressed.
                          she gave her grandfather his medicine every night,
                          yet, she couldn't tell him that it's not her fault that she was born a girl.
                          she talked to him every day,
                          yet, couldn't tell him how she feels. 
                          because she was loud,
                          yet hushed.
