Forsaken
No one heard me when I cried
I was all alone with my tears,
they chose not to weep for me
No one knew I was hurting
I was all alone with my pain,
they chose not to feel for me
No one knew I was afraid
I was all alone with my fear,
they chose not to rescue me
No one knew I felt angry
I was all alone with my rage,
they chose not to feel fury for me
No one knew I was being violated
I was all alone with my abuser,
they chose to look away from me
No one heard my quieted voice
I was all alone in that dreadful situation
they chose not to hear my cry for help
I reached out, but I was all alone,
no one was there,
just him.
