Invisible

The screams so loud That within their distance People stand and cry But the tears and screams Invisible The impact of the punch A crater on a child's life People shake their heads But the punch and judgement Invisible Invisible screams Invisible fears Invisible lives Torn apart in invisible times Invisible child Not knowing where to turn To escape what so many choose not to see Invisible child Sleeping in invisible arms Where invisible child is desperate to sleep tonight Only when they put a tiny body into a sack The tape rings the place where at All that was invisible before Suddenly becomes a cause Invisible the bruises that grew with the tears The fractured bones That lay alone Invisibly Invisible The childhood crushed Invisible All the hatred that bleeds Invisible Those lost forever in the scream Invisible All those who beg to forget For all that others could not see To become invisible
