The harm leaves no mark
No scars to be seen,
Horror in the dark
Hid its face obscene,
Tasteless jokes begin
Real pain to deride,
The secrets within
At any cost hide.
Secrets weighing down
Ending the joking,
Smile turns to a frown
It's the reckoning.
Out into the light
Truth is now revealed
Casting away blight
Childhood wounds thus healed
For my friend who testified against a ******* today
