If my wounds were visible

You would see my heart bleeding

If my wounds were visible

You would see how strong I am

If my wounds were visible

You would wonder how I survived

If my wounds were visible

You would run out of bandages to cover them

If my wounds were visible

You would understand I have carried so much pain

If my wounds were visible

You would be shocked you never noticed

If my wounds were visible

You would train your HR Dept’s about emotional abuse

If my wounds were visible

You would help pass laws to protect our children from bullies

If my wounds were visible

You would understand my tears

If my wounds were visible

As a policeman you would believe me

If my wounds were visible

The court systems wouldn’t allow my abuser to abuse me by playing the system

If my wounds were visible

You would protect your elderly parents from financial abuse

If my wounds were visible

You would protect your kids from online predators

If my wounds were visible

It would look like your worst nightmare

If my wounds were visible

You would share awareness without a second thought.
