In the shadows, whispers call my name,
Echoes of pain that know no shame.
Bruises hidden, scars inside,
A heart broken, tears I hide.
Words like daggers, sharp and cruel,
Breaking spirits, the silent rule.
Promises shattered, dreams decay,
Hope fades with each passing day.
Nights are long, filled with dread,
Fear and anguish, a heavy spread.
Voices raised, fists that fly,
In this darkness, I silently cry.
Yet in the silence, a light remains,
A spark of courage, despite the chains.
One day freedom, a dream so bright,
To break the cycle, to find the light.
