The point of no return, where darkness dwells,
A home where brutality yells,
Stands a woman, delving into a grim abyss,
Wondering how to fight the devil’s kiss
Within the walls of homes serene,
A nightmare lurks, unseen, unseen,
Behind closed doors, where secrets hide,
A battle fought on love’s dark side.
With clenched fists and fiery tongues,
A world that shakes, where hope has slung,
The devil dances, fueled by rage,
A torment etched on every page.
But how do you fight this eerie plight,
When pain and fear consume the night?
It starts with recognizing the signs,
Unveiling truth, breaking the binds.
Reach out your hand, lend an ear,
For those entangled, filled with fear,
A voice to whisper, “You are not alone,”
A lifeline cast, a heart to own.
Raise awareness, speak to the crowd,
Give strength to voices that aren’t allowed,
Educate minds, ignite the spark,
That love should never leave a mark.
Offer refuge, a shelter strong,
A haven where the wounded belong,
With open doors, and arms to hold,
A safe escape from demons bold.
Empower victims, restore their might,
Help them reclaim their inner light,
A symphony of healing and grace,
To mend the scars, embrace their space.
For to fight the devil deep within,
Requires love’s strength, a will to win,
Together we rise, hand in hand,
Break the chains, reclaim the land.
Today, we stand as one, unite,
Whispering hope, dispelling night,
We will face the devil, strong and wise,
With love’s power, we’ will nullify.
