Harsh words, violent blows
Belted skin; anger grows
Cries that echo, tears that burn
Pleas unanswered; feel them yearn
Secrets kept, silence earned
Lives disrupted, pages turned
Broken values, shattered dreams
Empty feelings, hollow screams
Whispers silent, darkness nears
Aching rises, ready tears
Hearts on fire, souls destroyed
Lives diminished, minds devoid
Living barely, going on
Stepping forward, hope is gone
Wishes made, blow away
Struggle bravely, last the day
