No More Violence and Abuse
It’s often overlooked a lot
Victim’s not sharing what they’ve got
Denial is a common plot
When help may be their only shot
If you’re able to understand
That there is a problem at hand
Acknowledgement’s the first of plans
In standing up against demands
It happens with the ones you love
Trying to place themselves above;
They cannot push around and shove
Where hope is all you can think of
Abuse is often found in words
Emotionally left deterred
Physically too, more pain is stirred
Either way, neither is preferred
They’ll do it with a common goal
To feel like they are in control
Whether a part or as a whole
The victim’s body takes a toll
It’s often paralyzed with fear
Whenever the abuser’s near
If they put guilt inside your ear
Consequences can be severe
Once you’re aware that you’re in need
You can be helped from this, indeed
No longer with your life concede
Instead, you’ll feel as you were freed.
