Never seen;
Never heard;
Ignored;
Silenced;
Why
Are hard things
Constantly
Avoided
How come
We
Hide anything
Not “normal”
What
Even is
Normal
Anyways
If everyone
Is different;
Where
Do we find
“Normal”
Who decides
What the standard
Of “normal”
Is
Don’t show
The bruises;
Don’t show
The scars
Don’t share
The reality;
Don’t share
The pain
No speaking;
No writing;
No listening;
No reading
Unless
It’s nice;
And knowledge
Is shared
The abuse;
The anxiety;
The depression;
The pain;
Never
Revealed;
Always
Hidden
