Silence hurts everyone

Your silence doesn’t buy you freedom from the things that you’ve been through.
Not talking about your experiences just hurt others going through it with you.
It may feel like you’re the only one but there’s others out there too.
It’s time to speak out against the people who do this to you.
The hardest part is talking and that’s where their power lies.
They scared you into quietness with deceit and deny.
Families don’t want to talk about it in hopes that it will disappear.
But the power that they hold over you is the power of fear.
