Shut Up and Listen to Survivors
In a world where silence reigns supreme,
Where victims are often dismissed as a dream,
It's time to change the narrative,
To lend an ear and truly live.
Survivors of abuse have stories to tell,
Of pain and suffering that they've held,
In their hearts for far too long,
It's time to listen to their song.
The scars they carry are not just skin deep,
They run through their souls, causing them to weep,
For the innocence lost, the trust betrayed,
It's time to offer them our aid.
So shut up and listen to their words,
To the pain and anguish that they've endured,
Don't turn a blind eye, don't look away,
It's time to stand with them today.
They have been through hell and back,
Their minds and bodies under attack,
But they have found the strength to rise,
It's time to open up our eyes.
To the courage and resilience they possess,
To the battles they fight, to the strength they express,
To survive in a world so cruel,
It's time to change the old rule.
So let us be their voice, their advocate,
Let us listen and validate,
Their experiences and their pain,
It's time to break the chain.
For abuse should never be tolerated,
It should never be normalized or debated,
It's time to take a stand, to speak up,
It's time to lift survivors up.
So shut up and listen to their stories,
To the pain and the hurt they've carried for years,
Let us create a world where they can heal,
It's time to make their voices real.
For there is power in speaking out,
In shedding light on the shadows of doubt,
In standing tall and strong together,
It's time to change the narrative forever.
So let us be allies, let us be friends,
Let us support survivors until the end,
Let us amplify their voices, their truth,
It's time to listen and to soothe.
For in a world that often turns a deaf ear,
It's time to show survivors that we're here,
That we're here to listen, to believe,
It's time to help them to achieve.
So shut up and listen to their cries,
To their pain and their silent cries,
Let us be the change they seek,
It's time to listen, it's time to speak.
For survivors of abuse deserve our respect,
They deserve to be heard, to be perfect,
It's time to show them love and care,
It's time to stand up and declare.
That we will not be silent anymore,
That we will listen, that we will restore,
The dignity and the worth they possess,
It's time to honor and to bless.
So shut up and listen to their plea,
For justice and for empathy,
Let us be the change they need,
It's time to act, it's time to heed.
For survivors of abuse are brave and strong,
And they have waited for far too long,
For their voices to be heard,
It's time to believe their word.
So let us stand with them, hand in hand,
And let us create a world so grand,
Where survivors are listened to and believed,
