Some people loved
Some people lied
But in the end
We all had cried hidden tears.

The blood of innocent
Flowed thick in the streets
Staining the stones
Leaving behind cruel memories

Those people tortured us.
Those people taunted us.
Those people crushed us.
Those people hated us.

Who are we?
That's not an easy answer

We are the innocent.
We are the betrayed.
We are the broken.
We are the silent voices, of unknown abuse.

The author's comments:
A Lot teens face physical emotional, and other types of abuse every day but are to afraid to speak up about it. Many of these teens end up with mental issues such as paranoia and depression, And some face the even worse fate of dying because of abuse.... This should never happen


DON'T LET ABUSE GO WITHOUT NOTICE!!!

I really like the message you're trying to send with the poem-and you leave in very good visual descriptions, I give it 5/5!
