Silenced
It started out a stormy night
She never could put up a fight
Her tears would hit the bathroom floor
He smashed her head against the door
The cops were called, no one cared
She’d run as often as she dared
He’d drag her back and lock her in
Never hit hard enough to break the skin
The girl put up a fence around her soul
No one could get close enough to melt the cold
A baby girl of only five
Already wanting to end her life
Her best friend came close to breaching the wall
She didn’t come back to school in the fall
The cops found her body during break
It was more than the little girl could possibly take
He made her life a life a living hell
She knew better than to ever tell
He’d sneak into her room late at night
She’d keep the bruises well out of sight
The teachers never said a word
The little girl got used to not being heard
And just like that– their terrible choice
The little girl lost her voice.
