Can’t read
Can’t write
No rest
Hard fight
Can’t hear
Feel fear
All alone
No one there
Big smiles
All day
Great acting
Run away
Feeling pain
Not numb
Silent now
Staying dumb
Giving up
Too much shame
Held inside
Played the game
Being good
No escape
Dirt shows
Child rape
So soft
Weak-willed
Too tough
Justice killed
Can’t see
Don’t tell
Keep quiet
Gone to hell
