Tears

As I pick up the broken glass of the dirty floor
the baby cries I see you stumble out the door.
Another Bruise, Another Lie I am thankful i can finally say goodbye
there are angels with every person in this world and there is a way out.
With the angels by our side we know we will survive.
If you see or hear signs of abuse please call 911 or tell a parent, school counslor
or someone you trust. Keeping silent will only help it happen again break the silence
use your voice speak out. We have to decrease violence in America.
