Breaking Silence
I’m afraid, I did not see you coming, in the dark, doing things you should not.
Granddad don’t you touch me! Grandma don’t you see it? Don’t you see what
Granddad’s doing to me?
You left me in my blood
And in my shame
Always coming back
Again and Again
And Jesus said,
“Bring all your children to me. Leave them their childhood
And loving purity
Do not hinder them, for my Kingdom is for them
Do not bar their way.”
I was just a child, hiding from those people, family; needing to be cared for
Daddy don’t you touch me! Momma, can’t you see it?
Don’t you see what’s happening to me?
You left me in my blood
And in my shame.
Always coming back
Again and Again
I never knew God could hear me crying,
Silent scream, Jesus can you stop it?
Why is this happening to me?
Was it my fault? I was just a child. Am I still to blame?
No, I shout! What they did was wrong. Yes, they stole my youth and innocence,
But I will carry on! I will break the Silence; and share my story so all will know:
They didn’t win and the shame was never mine
And it's not yours either.
I will stand tall and proud, raising up and shouting loud,
“Truly, I have survived and I know you can, too!”
