A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 07/03/2000
When is this abuse going to end
there are people not knowing how to mend
Mending so the hurt won’t linger on
a hurt that makes people feel they don’t belong
When will people show they care
and not run away when they see despair
Despair that they will also feel
if they also can’t find a way to heal
When will they stop mistreatment to others and themselves
so they will not live in their own internal hell
The hell of abusing others you see
letting go of abuse could set them so free
Free to love others who are in pain
from others spreading their own shame
