No one sees the sadness
Behind her smiling face
No one sees the wounds
She hastily covers up
To admit the beatings
Was to admit she failed
Brainwashed so much
It was all her fault
No friends to talk to
They stopped calling by
Most knew what was happening
But just turned a blind eye
She puts up with the beatings
She was afraid to speak out
She though no one would listen
Ashamed to let people know
Those friends who looked on
And knowing the truth
Are as guilty as the bully
Who caused all this misery
Stand up to the bully
And they will back down
A bully is a coward
Controlling but weak

Yes, so true, support and strength enables those who are subjected to domestic violence to break the chain, well done Dan
