What you never see?

If only the truth could be known

 

What you never see? 

Behind that suburban door

Many crimes are committed.

Cruelty and pain

A world they hide well.

 

Eyes that cried and you saw

you walked away

Not my problem, not today!

She saw you and wanted to die.

 

For fear and shame of all her pain

locked behind that door.

Work she may not

Talk NEVER!!

Who would listen or believe ?

 

This goes on year upon year

You shrug and say she should leave.

By now she has kids.

More complexeties you do not see.

 

She cries everyday for help

and you hear her not

either through want or ignorance

I know not what.

 

You call your self caring?

Of what?

Then the day comes,

The day we all knew would.

She is gone and so are the little ones.

 

Where did they go?

For your soul's sake I hope they left!

Because the other idea is gruesome.

And you walked away.

Not me, not today.

 

He need never lifts his hands to be so cruel,

There is more than one way to skin a cat

You can be sure of that.

Hope your heart is clean.

One day you will answer.

 

Both perpatrator, victim and witness.

So who are you and how do you feel?

In this cycle

that hides behind a door and darkness?

 

Just know if you ask

the universe will answer

and your days of hell will be done forever.

 

Just do it now

Before it's too late,

Let not the hand that takes you be his or yours.

 

Perpetrator, victim and witness

Who will it be ?

The one who wins?

Is there really a victory here?

 

Or just a tradgedy of infinate time and space.

Who is it in your life?

Look hard, then decide

Whose life.

This is the longer version of captive of fear and oppression.

Abuse is such a terrible thing... some people turn the other cheek thinking it is not their place to get involved, but turning your back on something you know is wrong and not trying is lie feeding the crime... very powerful and a topic that needs to be addressed.
