I Do Not Seek The Silence

Warning: this may be triggering. Not all are on a quest for silence. For some assault, abuse, and rape survivors, the quest may be for a world that is less silent and allows for the expression of their experiences. This poem encourages people to understand the different types of silence, and how breaking silence can be, for some, a step toward peace.

What an empowering, powerful and profoundly important message you have given voice to. Bless you.

You have a great gift with words.
Thank you for sharing 🥀

You have a profound way with words, you touch me deeply.

So timely that I would hear this after having heard stories from my niece yesterday about the abuse that she has been enduring without telling anyone. Her mind consumed with what was, is, and will be. She cant stop thinking or let her guard down. The shame and self hatred for putting on an act about him to us. My youngest daughter, my granddaughter are caught in the insanity of being the ex husband sitting her children against their mom. The abused looks and sounds HISterical while the abuser looks calm. "She gave herself the black eye and blamed it on me." He said to the police, the party, the judge. Make a safety plan. Extra car key and burner phone hidden. Have an exit. Dont get boxed in away from an exit. I got out in 1973 with my 2 year old daughter and his my whereabouts. It is the most deadly when you leave. Beware.

This was so beautiful in understanding, my ❤️ knows all of this ❤️. Healing and finding my way.
