Echoes of Silence

The walls whisper secrets, a symphony of pain,

Echoes of silence linger in the air.

Bruises bloom like roses, petals of purple and blue,

A silent scream for help, a plea unheard.

Trapped in a nightmare, a prison of fear,

Each day a battle, each night filled with tears.

Shattered dreams and broken promises,

A life in disarray, the cycle of violence relentless.

Yet in the depths of despair, a glimmer of hope emerges,

A spark igniting the courage to break free.

With each step forward, a weight lifts from the soul,

Reclaiming power, becoming whole again.

The journey is arduous, filled with obstacles,

But with each hurdle, strength begins to grow.

Healing takes time, a process of mending,

As the survivor rises, a warrior reborn.

To those still trapped in darkness, know you are not alone,

Your voice deserves to be heard, your story matters.

There is a world waiting, filled with light and love,

A safe haven to heal, a path toward freedom.

This is a testament to the strength within,

A reminder that you have the power to begin anew.

In the face of adversity, the human spirit shines,

A beacon of hope, a light that endures.
