She cries but no one hears

[Jordan III]

A girl once so lively
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.

This reminds of an experience that happened recently. A lady slid to my DM seeking for advice, she was going through some emotional problems. And it seemed she looked around for someone to help her, but couldn't find one. The message in your poem is invaluable. I love it, and your style of writing too.

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.

It's a horrible situation. We now live in a culture where we can't even live safely with the people we trust. You did an excellent job. Your poetry requires greater focus. The sorrow of women's injustices is depicted in your words. Thank you leaving this trace of words.

This is a powerful poem, the kind that stays with you long after you've read it.

Nice work.

What country do you live in? I'm sorry that there's violence towards women there; there shouldn't be violence towards anyone anywhere.
