Is it you?
Is it me?
Is it the woman sitting in the church pew next to you or me?
Could it be her or you He’s hitting
Yelling at
Abusing?
Is it some other woman we don’t see?
I know it wasn’t just me
Getting abused daily
There are so many others out there
Statistics say 1 in 3
Believe me.
We don’t see them because they are in hiding
Staying silent
Because When they try to speak up people say…
Why did she wait so long
But she has a beautiful home
He’s so nice in the streets.
There’s no way that could be.
Then they ask
Why are you ruining his life?
Why can’t you just be a better wife?
Or
Why are you putting your business in the streets?
Instead of keeping it under lock and key.
Others say
You’re gonna be a single mother
Your never gonna find another (man)
Every relationship has problems
You just need to work harder to solve them
So in despair
Feeling like others don’t understand or care
She goes into hiding
Keeping the silence
While inside she’s silently dying.
Hidden crime.
