There are thoughts that sit in my head
Like chapters of a book that must be read
Everyday in this world a woman is abused
Who will pay the price and stand accused
This fear wears at you day after day
It effects everything you do and say
You are scared to speak
For fear of what he will do
That fear makes him the master over you
You are still in control, if you take the reins
You can wash yourself
But nothing can ever remove the stains
These are permanent scars
Help can be found
If only you reach out
You can't ever be heard
If you don't shout
Please give me a reason for this
