"Broken Silence"

Hello and welcome back from the weekend.  October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and today's segment of Jus Sayn will touch on that.


     Whether intentional or not, hurt people.....hurt people.  Be it emotionally, verbally, or physically;  male or female.  Find within yourself to seek help for yourself as well as for the good of others that care about you so this perfidious cycle can come to a halt.  Jus Sayn!!!   By Dionna Ophelia

"Broken Silence"

By Dionna Ophelia (copywritten & published)

The burden the scars

You so well kept

The hidden face of abuse

In the closet you wept.

A slave to pain

And no hand to lend

For each day you died

But you kept it in.

If silence could speak

It would be the first to tell

How quick joy was forgotten

For the embrace of Hell.

But there had to be an Angel

Made especially for you

Breathing life into your soul

Slowly bringing you through.

Everyday is recovery

From the works of violence

Gives more meaning to your life

When there's broken silence!
