Where do you go when your heart is breaking
What do you do when your faith is shaken
Too many times we suffer in silence
Whether verbal abuse, mental abuse, or domestic violence
We suffer in silence believing that everything will be alright
In our silence we continue to fight
Used and abused by those we love the most and admire
We suffer in silence and continue to be beat down by liars
The fight within us is now gone
We have no fight left, we just want to be left alone
We seclude ourselves from everyone and turn off our phone
We continue to suffer in silence and no one knows
The suffering in silence has caused our life to fold
The suffering in silence has now become a cry for help
We have no strength left God help, we begin to cry
Lord please don’t pass us by
We made it because He never left us
He strengthened us in the midst of our silence, it was a must
We now must encourage others to not suffer in silence, help is available
Get help today while it still can be found,
God is able
