Silence is the Most Powerful Scream Part 2


I’ve grown up now,

I have lied for him,

But today that stops.

I say no.

I tell someone,

I will talk,

I will see.

I am not scared.

I will help other kids,

I will save them from their torture,

I will,

Because…

I am not scared.

In my dreams,

Which he haunts,

Will still be there,

But I can help kids,

Not go through what I went through.

Because…

I made a stand.

Because …

I am not scared.
