children of the dark

In the shadows where silence reigns,
Lies a child bound by invisible chains.
Tears like rivers, pain unseen,
In the grasp of a love turned mean.

Words like knives, cutting deep,
Leaving scars that never sleep.
Bruised and broken, heart in pain,
In a home where fear and hurt remain.

But beneath the weight of dark despair,
A spark of strength, a flame so rare.
Rising from the ashes of the past,
A will to break free, to fly at last.

No longer defined by cruel hands,
The child becomes, against all demands.
A survivor, a warrior, strong and true,
Shining brightly in the world anew.

To those still trapped in the grip of fear,
Know that hope and help are near.
You are not alone, you are enough,
Break free, rise up, and reclaim your tough.
