It was dangerously quiet
The silence, her silence.
She wanted to shout Hear me, help me!
The words
Stuck in her throat
Suffocating
She tried to scream
Hear me! Help me!
Every time she tried
She would think
of family and friends
The society
What would they say?
How would they look at me?
Who would they believe?
It was dangerously quiet
The silence, her silence.
She would tell herself
Not yet
Not today
Maybe tomorrow!
directly into their eyes
silently begging
ask me
‘Are you okay?’
Look into my eyes
See the pain, anger and devastation?
Can I trust you?
Will you believe me?
She waited with grief
for that one person
who would see her through
pulling her out of the deep grave
It was dangerously quiet
The silence, her silence
which she wanted to break
with a hammer
name it justice
she impatiently waited
fire in her belly
a broken heart
yet strong
and determined
One day
She did
She did it all herself
No family nor friends
She broke her silence
Shattered the mirror
Peeling the mask off
him
She is the survivor
Still surviving
Breathing and living
Fighting against
why he did what he did
Where were you, dear friend?
Where were you when she needed you?
You wanted to play judge?
You wanted facts?
She was suffocating in silence, friend!
What were you waiting for!
Here he comes
Playing the victim
You want to believe him
Don’t ya?
Quick to fall for his crocodile tears
Too slow to read her silence
It is dangerously quiet
The silence, her silence
Are you listening?
