dear hushed child me

i remember. the sound. of your silence.

your noiseless screams.
your hidden terror.
your mute panic.
your wordless shame.

your. hushed. voice.

the abuser is loud. strong. big.
cruel. powerful.

you are quiet. weak. small.
numb. frozen.

in the prison. of your fear.
you cringe.

confined. in your cell. of uncertainty.
you pray.
believe.
anticipate.
expect.

redemption. freedom. liberation.

jesus hears. knows. sees. responds.
because of jesus. your voice is.
redeemed.
freed.
unhushed.

you survived.

you are still overcoming.
