Buried Secrets
Her emotions crippled
by years of abuse and
she wonders how
to make it end
She keeps the secret
to herself, not even
telling her best friend
She prays for strength
to face another day,
somehow she makes
it through
She hides the details
behind dark glasses,
her eyes beat black and blue
After years of hidden shame,
one day rising from a fall,
she finds the courage buried
deep within to start her life anew
