is it better to speak or to die?

Speak or die?

Since I heard that phrase I have always asked myself: is it better to speak or die? I know that many would choose to speak, because why be silent if you are going to die?

In the end I chose to speak but it killed me inside, I was already dead before I spoke, I spoke but it was of no use? That's why I prefer to die, die once and for all, die just die, I know that in my heart I have the true answer.

I ask you the question: is it better to speak or to die?
