Scars…
deep emotional ones
Damaging scars from the past
Limiting, always lingering
Shame, low esteem, tears that last
Damaging scars from the past
Limiting, always lingering
Shame, low esteem, tears that last
An angel,
born beautiful
Dainty, innocent in every way
Pre-teen, developed, an uncle's pat
Something other than play

A young
boy, struggling in school
Problems trying to read and write
Laughed at and called stupid
Accepts the label, gives up the fight
Problems trying to read and write
Laughed at and called stupid
Accepts the label, gives up the fight
A lonely
girl, attends a party
Desperate for a friend or two
Willing to do whatever it takes
Drugged, disrobed for all to view
Desperate for a friend or two
Willing to do whatever it takes
Drugged, disrobed for all to view
A young
man, full of promise
Needs his Dad to lead the way
Finds abuse and neglect, changes,
Becomes an abuser one day

Finds abuse and neglect, changes,
Becomes an abuser one day

It could
be your neighbor
Your loved one, a family friend
That needs help, compassion,
Ask, listen, and let the healing begin

Ask, listen, and let the healing begin
