A SILENT CRY!

HE SMACK ME, BEAT ME, AND PULLED MY HAIR
BUT IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT REALLY CARE.
HE ABUSED MY BODY AND CRUSH MY SOUL
BUT THIS IS A STORY SO MANY OF US HAVE TOLD
I CRIED OUT FOR JUSTICE BUT IT WAS NOWHERE AROUND
NOT EVEN WHILE I WAS GETTING BEAT DOWN
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM COULDN'T HEAR MY CRY
BECAUSE A WOMAN VOICE CAN'T REACH THAT HIGH.- Bernita Smith (Madison, WI)
