Your life in pieces and your life with no peace.
Being afraid to wake up and afraid to go to sleep
Facing the constant threat and the ever present
reality of abuse
Having nowhere to go and no one to tell.
In the silence, the sound of crying.
A woman weeps for herself and her children.
Pray for all whose home has become a prison,
Pray for all who are abused and are trapped in
self blame,
Pray for all whose lives have been left numb by
brutality,
May we discover the strength of survivors,
and together break the silence,
with voices of anger and compassion,
with hearts of tenderness and peace.
