Silence

Silence is the moment you give up on saving a child. You hear the beatings, but you pretend not to. You see the bruises and the broken bones, but you say nothing, you can't get involved. You know deep down what is taking place, so you ignore the signs and the proof. You go about your day thinking you should of said something. But you don't The days go by and it gets worse You pretend that you really didn't see or hear anything. So the child enduring the horrific pain goes on hoping to be rescued, but you keep telling yourself that maybe he or she must of been bad. That child you said nothing about is and has been brutally beaten, he or she now lays lifeless in a cold broken home where they are abused by someone who is to care and love them. You see the police cars and the coroner and then deep down you know what was going on. The child is now laying on a stretcher being carried away, but days earlier he or she was alive. You blame yourself because if you would of stepped up and call someone maybe that child would still be alive. So keeping your mouth closed when you see a child being abused is not helping them you can't save them by being quiet So "SPEAK UP AND SPEAK LOUD" You maybe the the one that he or she is praying to to rescue them. Abuse goes on everywhere, please Don't be silent Please Speak up and rescue a child who needs you.
