Different faces, different places,
Different ages, different stages,
All are one, one is all,
Some we know, some just show,
Little ones, big ones, all are one,
Joined together but separate
Many faces, some unknown,
Trying to tell a story untold,
Abuse we endured some can’t put into words,
Pre-verbal, unspoken, but true is my word,
Some they talk, others are shy,
Some are angry, others just cry,
Finding places to feel safe and be one,
A dream, a wonder, a want, a need,
One day we will be free and fly as a bird,
But for now we are trapped and afraid from abuse we endured,
A story beginning to unfold to the world,
Silent we won’t be now, it’s time to be strong,
Speaking out against all the abuse,
Silent, no never, we have a voice to be heard,
Some will speak out, others just hide,

But one day we will escape and no longer subside,
I’m not afraid to shout out any more,
I’m strong and I’m not alone because I have my dear Lord
