With trembling pen in hand I wrote
Words of hate I had not spoke.
My pain within so evident now
While no one seemed to care somehow.
My journal was what all I had
To voice the pain that hurt so bad.
Was I at fault to some degree
I need to know, to be set free.

My Innocence was taken away
No consent, I had no say.
A punishment he did receive
A few worthless years, would you believe?
While I endure a longer sentence
Justice denied, truth with no substance.
An empty walk from the courthouse halls
Etched writings on nameless walls.

Silence prevailed week after week
At home no one had dared to speak
Of the evil witnessed of which they knew
No comfort for what I went through.

I kept my feelings locked inside
Crystal tears were what I cried.
From behind closed doors silent tears did fall
While all along, they knew it all.
