The Lineage Of Voices

my ancestors were never just ordinary.

they were the ones who held it all together in silence.

the mother who carried hunger in her stomach

so her children could eat.

the father who buried his own dreams

to keep the family alive.

the healer who whispered prayers in secret

because faith was safer than rebellion.

the dreamer who questioned gods and kings

but hid his tongue for survival.

they weren’t remembered by name,

but they were remembered by weight.

and that weight passed down.

a gift. a curse.

a fire buried so deep in the blood,

it had to wait centuries to surface.

and then it split.

in this lifetime, it chose two.

my sister writes warmth.

she is the healer with words.

her voice is medicine

our ancestors never received.

she speaks to the child still trembling in the dark,

to the heart that never heard “you are safe.”

her writing restores gentleness,

a reminder that our family

was never meant to live only in pain.

i write fire.

i am the myth-maker.

my words are not for comfort.

they are for memory.

they strip illusions,

they carve truth into stone,

they drag shadows into the open.

i don’t write to soothe the wound,

i write to name it —

to show the world what silence cost us.

together, we are the balance.

her warmth heals,

my fire awakens.

two halves of the same inheritance,

restoring what was lost in different ways.

our ancestors carried pain.

we carry pens.

their silence was survival.

our expression is freedom.

and through us,

their hidden significance is no longer buried —

it rises, eternal,

etched into every line we write.
