Echoes Of A Child's Cry

A child who cries in pain it's a hurtful sound to hear all you want to do is wipe away their tears.

For some children they are happy and whole while others are hurt and don't know where to turn

They are silent about their abuse because of fear thinking they will be blamed and feeling ashamed

Verbally, Mentally, physically abused living in despair wondering how is this life fair this is too much for anyone to bear

Feeling threatened alone not knowing where to go trying to find the courage to speak but always feeling defeat.

Looking for a glimmer of hope each day wondering when things will turn around their way

Hearing the echoes of the names they are called feeling the bruises on their legs and arms feeling mentally broken-down wondering if they can forget the painful sounds

They always have their heads down never looking in someone's eyes because they fear they will see the pain deep inside

Not wanting to go home wanting to escape each day hoping one day they will turn their back so they can go away

Thinking its their fault because there bad trying their best to be good so they won't get mad

Trying to stay silent and good but the abuse keeps coming wanting to get out of this nightmare and just start running.

Child abuse is real so we all need to start kneeling so God can start healing.

Praying for each child who goes through this pain praying they will stand up with courage and not be ashamed.

To not be silent and to tell someone what's going on to not live in fear and not to shed anymore tears.
