Pitch Black Abuse
Pitch Black Abuse
Childhoods are cherished by most it’s true.
Others are scarred by darkness ensued.
Darkened room with wall of ears.
Illicit stories from over the years
Hand front of face it can’t be seen.
Under darkness occurs a disturbing scene.
Supposedly safe this institute
still a child’s voice is firmly on mute.
Protection was lost to a child so young
Position too trust not bite your tongue.
An enjoyable day is how it was said
voices heard from a strangers bed
Safety and comfort are so far away
Forced to do what the abusers say
Broken in mind with trust issues too
Adults need answers why me and not you.
Barriers go up but some break down
Suicide, anxiety in darkness they drown.
So what of these monsters in society today
Twisting their evil to abuse again
But the abused are braver and silent no more
Helping authorities to knock evils door
Justice no solace for horrors endured
Broken no more cause finally heard
