Screams From a Child – Is Anybody Listening?

Quiet as a mouse. Take a closer look, you may just see a child with that look. Silent screaming are loud, we just need to get our heads out of the clouds.

My head is down I make not a sound, ’cause my daddy knows how to pound. My back is sore, my walk is slower, I could hardly get off the floor. The color red trickles from my head, it looks the same as what’s on my bed. The color blue, you have no clue, is under my shirt, and it hurts. My daddy is clever like a devil, never would I lie. He has two faces that he aces, one for you and one for me, I am sure there are many more cases. You see me everyday, then you look the other way without saying, hey. Am I invisible? Don’t you see this child? Me. I need your help, I’m full of welps and so unkept. How long it has since I slept? My head is down, so are my pounds, but I am still to scare to make a sound. Is anybody listening?

There are so many children out there just screaming for help and we look the other way. Keep writing about them, will? I like it very much.

It is sad, how many children are walking around us with pain in their heart and sometime physical too, and we don\’t see it, or we don’t want to see it.

That’s painful, but true…I will fight for any child that has been abused, let me see one clue then I become the avenger…It needs to be stopped Today!!!!, We all need to speak up.

Sugar, I noticed that you write a lot about our children and how they are treated and how they should be treated. Your love for them is clear. I like all your work.

Hurting any child, mentally, physically,spiritually or any other way is unconscionable. Abusers, will get their just rewards.

This an unfortunate situation in many children’s life. I like the way you put this together. Thank you for caring about our youth and may God bless you.
