Silent Too Long.
Damaged children,
In grown ups clothes,
Filled with a poison,
That no one knows,
Because we’ve been silent too long.
Generations bring down generation,
Filled with broken dreams.
So called happy families,
That are not what they seem,
Because we’ve been silent too long.
Breaking cycles upon cycles,
That have gone on too long.
Showing the ugly side,
That was hidden and wrong,
Because we’ve been silent too long.
Facing all the fears,
Learning a new way,
Because it can’t stay like this,
It cannot stay this way,
Because we’ve been silent too long.
