Silently she screams
"Why won't you stop?"
Your actions are hurting her
She watches her little boys who were once sweet and innocent
Become more and more like their father
With each passing day
She is your mother and yet you are unphased
By the tears you can so often see in her eyes

Silently she screams
Pounding her fists against the pillow
Why God?
Why throw this pain upon my mother?
Has she not suffered enough?
First at the hands of her own father
Then at the hands of mine
And yet these boys you have punished her with
Beat her down emotionally until she is too tired to care
Finally she screams
"Can't anyone hear my prayer?"
Nearly twenty-one her days are spent alone
Making her feel some days as if her life were almost gone
In some ways it is
Constantly being stabbed by their razor sharp tounges
And words that hit her like two ton bricks
Silently she screams
"Why can't you stop?"
Your words cut like knives
Inflicting wounds that may never completely heal
Silently she screams
"Oh God please tell me you have heard my prayer"
I do not know how much longer i can make it alone
