What's that sound
What do you hear?
It's someone in pain
Living with fear
She's the reason
I'm writing today
She's the reason
I'm screaming today
Women suffer
All around
In every society
Every town
Being hurt
By word or fist
Suffering all
And more than this
This month I'll scream
Many times more
Raising awareness
Until this is no more
Xxxxx
March is the third annual poetry festival raising awareness and bringing about help for women who are in violent relationships. If you're suffering violence please get help, no one need suffer.
What a wonderful voice for all those who suffer!
ReplyDeleteI will join you in the screaming and raising awareness ~
ReplyDeleteI have never had to live in fear, but I think it must be awful to have to do so. I scream to raise awareness as well.............
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Emma!
ReplyDeleteSo many women's screams happen behind closed doors and no one knows about them. Thank you for taking up the cause.
ReplyDeleteI'm standing right next to you as you scream! No more tolerance for violence against women!
ReplyDeleteAnd the voices, joined, create a cacophony that cannot be ignored. Excellent addition to that scream.
ReplyDeleteGood one.
ReplyDeleteLiving with fear.... I can't imagine it, but I know so many do. We MUST change the stigma and make the men afraid to raise a fist!
