Break The Silence...
We try
To hide the pain behind a crumbling mask of bravery
We try
To forget the humiliation we suffered at the very core of our womanhood
We try
To put the blame on ourselves for the sins of our oppressors, the criminals
We
Try to pretend it never happened, no it never did!!!!
�
We think
We can easily forget how degraded we still feel inside and outside
We think
It will never haunt to know they are still out there, watching... waiting.
We think
We can overcome this fear every time we step out the front door t face the world
We always think.... Forever thinking
We can
Stop thinking and take action towards reclaiming our dignity and self respect!
We can
React and realize the power we possess within our minds, body and souls
You see,
Silence is the power that gives the right to violate us over and over and over...
A never ending cycle that will surely be the ruin of the independent woman
Salvation is the key to breaking the chains and regaining the power to say
STOP!!!!!!!
NOT THIS TIME!!!!
