In Your Silence

It's hard I know for sure. 
But find your inner strength,
And stand tall, you are beauitful,
Speck out in your silence,
Don't hind the brushes on your skin,
Your a warrior to this battle ground,
Your fighting in
Fight for your rights to speck,
Ink your skin with the words surviver, not vitum,

Your scars scream,
I know mine do,
But never suffer alone in your silence,
Your more likely to feel doomed alone in your room,
Don't let there words district your thinking, 
Because emotional abuse,
Affects you too, 
When they tell you ,
You can't sing or be anything,
Sing these words over and over,

I will not fall to my knees,
I will not let these tears mark my skin,
You may hurt me psychology and emotionally,
But I will not give in, 
I will fight back again,
And just you wait,
Because I'm stronger then I was before,

Put your hands high in the sky,
If you have been affected by silence,
If you know someone who you think is going through silence,
It's not time to hide your shame your not to blame,
You didn't diserver it, or make the person do it, 
If the person loves you they would not hurt you.
Open the eyes once blacked by the fists of toture.
Because one in five woman. Die at the hands of a lover. That is every 30 minutes of a passing hour.
So stand tall do not cower. 

Written by Davina Browne 16/10/15

I haven't been through silence but I have known someone who has.

Very eye-opening and empowering. No woman should accept subjugation from any man. A healthy relationship is about mutual respect and understanding. A well-written poem...7!
