The Words That Go Unheard

These are the words that go unheard. The voice of a little girl crying for help 
because her mother is a drug user and her boyfriends all beat her. The screams 
of a teenager whose dad is molesting her. These are the words that go unheard. 
Listen to the young girl who ran away at just 15, she shares a tale that all should 
hear. Hear the words of the teenage mom who lost her daughter and don't know 
what to do with herself any more. The sound of screams from a young lady who 
gets raped and choked at the same time. These are the words that go unheard. 
Listen for the tears of the pregnant teenager whose baby daddy is abuseive. She 
cries and cries for help yet no one comes. For all of these are the words that go 
unheard.
