a child with no voice

I am a child a child with out a voice

I can talk but I stay quiet by my own choice

I would like to speak out but I am afraid to speak

you see my heart is strong but my courage is weak

If I speak out now and say the wrong thing

you have no idea of the pain it will bring

I will have pain by talking and I have pain in my silence

by not speaking out it is protecting me from violence

Born in to a life with no love only constant abuse

I learnt that in trying to get help there was no use

A life full of darkness with no view of the sun

going in circles with no where to run

I am just a child that has so much to tell

but if they find out I talked it would not end well

I am a child a child with out a voice

but to keep myself safe I say nothing by choice
