I came up with this after someone asked what it's like to be a DV victims and not heard
Screaming in Silence
No one hears you
You beg to be noticed
You beg the courts to do what's right
But you're screaming in Silence

You live in fear
You dread the day he finally shows up at your door
You look over your shoulder
But no one understands what your going through
Your screaming in Silence

You do what you can do to protect your kids
You notify the right authorities
You get told by the court there's nothing they can do
You move out of state for the protection of you and the kids
You live in a different state they say
We can't help with these court orders
They don't belong to us
You're screaming in Silence

No one will help
No one will listen
You fear to be the next billboard victim
DV victims have no help
You're screaming in Silence
