Realize
( Domestic Violence)


Only when we stop and think
Do we then realize
That the pain we cause to others
Can be seen within their eyes

We think that what we say and do
Wont hurt the ones we love
We must realize our actions
Are seen from up above

We say things out of anger
And expect them to forgive
Not knowing the true danger
Or the fear that they must live

When we strike out in anger
And our actions hurt someone
We create a brand new danger
That is seen by more then one

Know, others see your actions
And your words are heard by all
You may try to hide the pain you cause
But soon the walls will fall

For it's only when we stop and think
That we then realize
That the pain we cause to others
Can be seen within their eyes

Carl Joseph Roberts ( Joe)
We see domestic violence so often and sometimes say nothing. Neighbors hide behind the walls and we hear but do not see what is going on inside. Sometimes we think that it will all work out if we do nothing at all. But if you look into that persons eyes you will see the fear and pain that they have. Take the time and simply make a call. Let the police know for without you we cannot see it all.
