When dad left, you thought you were in control
You wanted to be the man of the house
You wanted to wear the big boy pants and dominate
But you never stopped to think of all the pain you caused me
You are my brother, why did you abuse me?!
Mom did all she could to support us
Everyday we did our best to get by
She is not the strongest person
But she dearly loves us
But you are her son, why did you abuse her?
Our sister was always so carefree
Running around the house with her toys Yet every hospital visit made me cry
But she always pulled through like a trouper
But you are her brother, why did you abuse her too?!
The years went by
The abuse continued
Steadily getting worse
All the tears that I cried
Slid silently down my face
I took up that blade
And wanted to end my life
The blade at my neck
All I had to do was slice
Mercy stepped in and saved my life
Courage took my fear
As I took a stand CPS and the Police
Stand in the doorway
I said the truth that put him away
By brother in handcuffs
His eyes full of fear
Now he knows what it's like
To live in that fear
You are my brother, why did you abuse me?
Now my days are brighter
My smile is genuine
The scars are still there
Hidden underneath
Yet I live on
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Many others just like me have been victims of domestic violence. Even so, you can speak out.
You never know what the person next to you is going through
Maybe they have a perfect life
Or maybe they hate their life
Maybe they really need some advice
Or maybe they want to be left all alone
People may not know what you are going through
You keep silent hoping things will get better
Silence is not going to make things better
Silence will only make you more vulnerable
So speak out! I am listening.
Speak and let your voice be heard!
Speak for those who know what you have seen
Speak for those who have no voice
Speak for those who are afraid to say the things on their mind
Make a difference by gaining the courage to help another person
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
If you want to make a difference
Or if you have been through abuse
Help stop the pain
Help save a life
Help those with no voice
Help to end domestic violence
