I know you are afraid
To share the truth about your life
With other people.
I know you fear their judgement
And I know you are afraid
They won't even believe you.
The things that happened to you
Shouldn't be true, but they are.
You suffered so much
And you buried your pain for so long.
I feel you shying away from the pain,
From the horror of speaking the words.
Don't be afraid little one,
You are safe.
I believe you and I know your pain is real,
I feel it.
The memory of that terrible hurt lingers on
But it is in the past.
No one will ever hurt you like that again
Because I will protect you.
There is so much power
In speaking the words.
So much healing in the telling
To understanding ears.
Release the secret.
Others too have felt pain like yours
And they will honor your courage.
Go and tell your story,
The story of your pain,
Of your progress,
Of your healing.
Share your pain and your hope,
Share the joy of becoming free.
Go with courage.
I will hold your hand.
