The Words That Go Unheard

These are the words that go unheard. The voice of a little girl crying for help because her mother is a drug user and her boyfriends all beat her. The screams of a teenager whose dad is molesting her. These are the words that go unheard. Listen to the young girl who ran away at just 15, she shares a tale that all should hear. Hear the words of the teenage mom who lost her daughter and don't know what to do with herself any more. The sound of screams from a young lady who gets raped and choked at the same time. These are the words that go unheard. Listen for the tears of the pregnant teenager whose baby daddy is abuseive. She cries and cries for help yet no one comes. For all of these are the words that go unheard.
