She cries but no one hears
her buttons undone
a man oh so evil
has used her for fun
in her lonely corner
she sits and she cries
deeply inside her soul
the girl slowly dies
no fam'ly to turn to
her best friends are gone
there's no one to talk to
she struggles alone
desperate, she cries out
a last hopeful word
the sound, though it carries,
is not even heard
the knife on the table
is meant for her wrists
the anger has left her
she unfurls her fists
the anger that helped her
to each day out-see
where hope once presided
now emptiness be
the vile man is to blame
but we too in part
for we have not noticed
the pain in her heart.

What country do you live in? I'm sorry that there's violence towards women there; there shouldn't be violence towards anyone anywhere.Jordan III wrote: ↑30 Sep 2021, 13:49 Thank you for the encouragement. My poem was inspired by the ongoing acts of gender-based violence against women in my country. As much as we try to pay attention to it and right those wrongs, there are still too many people who are ignorant of it, and ultimately that leads to victims committing suicide.
