Power of the Truth

You should suffer no more, child,
and the truth should be spoken.
Your silence is louder than words,
but the void remaining is filled with lies.

You are only the victim of the actions
and events which occurred in the past
Their attempts to hide them have just
brought attention to them in the present.

They say they give you protection, as
 the devil saves those souls from fire.
 Your speechlessness gives them time
 to only hurt those like you even more.

Fear keeps your tongue quiet about
those involved within your family
But who is it that keeps you more
than warm, fed, and body alive?

Trust in those who have your true
 interests in the center of their heart.
Only then will the truth be revealed,
and you can be free of your bonds.
