In the shadows where silence screams,
Intentional harm weaves dark dreams.
Bruised souls with stories untold,
Hearts heavy, battered, and cold.
Behind closed doors, secrets keep,
Tears fall in the dark, they weep.
Voices lost in the night,
Struggling, fighting, with all their might.
The pain inflicted by a knowing hand,
Leaves scars that forever stand.
Trust shattered, hope in flight,
Darkness consumes the light.
Yet within the heart’s deep core,
Lies a strength, a hidden store.
Rising from the ashes of despair,
Finding courage, hope, and repair.
