Yell! if that's the only way you'll be heard,
Try harder don't let them choke you without a word;
You are stronger than any of their sword,
Have courage and you can be free as a bird.




Keep moving for your life depends on it,
Propel like helicopter or you'll fall deep in the pit
Be a hummingbird, flapping its beating wings and never quit,
Never allow anyone to take away your spirit.



Keep fighting little one, such a brave young girl,
You may not see me but I'm here all the more;
I am you. We are one. Together will fight our war,
Never again we will let anyone to take the light of our star.

“Abuse manipulates and twists a child’s natural sense of trust and love. Her innocent feelings are belittled or mocked and she learns to ignore her feelings. She can’t afford to feel the full range of feelings in her body while she’s being abused—pain, outrage, hate, vengeance, confusion, arousal. So she short-circuits them and goes numb. For many children, any expression of feelings, even a single tear, is cause for more severe abuse. Again, the only recourse is to shut down. Feelings go underground.”
― Laura Davis
