In the stillness of the night, echoes of silence cry,
Shadows of pain linger, as whispers pass by.
Hearts shattered, dreams torn, by the violence unseen,
Hidden behind smiles, in a world so serene.

Beneath the surface calm, a storm does rage,
Souls lost in turmoil, trapped in a cage.
The scars run deep, though the eyes may not show,
In the quiet of the night, the hurt does grow.

Voices once vibrant, now hushed in fear,
In the darkness of violence, the truth is clear.
We seek the light, to banish the night,
To heal the wounds, and set things right.

Together we stand, against the tide,
In unity and strength, side by side.
For in the end, love will prevail,
Over violence and pain, we shall not fail.
