~Verse 1~
Em

D
How can we ignore this?
A
There's a silent hurt,
A



Em
A voice that can't be heard.
Em

D
How can we ignore this,
A
When the pain it causes,
A
Goes beyond the skin.

~Chorus~
G
You may turn a blind eye now,
A

Bm
But wait for reality,
Bm
The tears flow silently.
G
And the horror that awaits them,
A

Bm
Is more than you,
Bm
Could ever imagine.

~Verse 2~
The sorrow that follows,
Hopeless, pain, and emptiness,
They can't explain.

Don't turn a blind eye,
A heart needs you,
A hope to cling to.

~Chorus~
You may turn a blind eye now,
But wait for reality,
The tears flow silently.

And the horror that awaits them,
Is more than you,
Could ever imagine.

~Break~

How can we ignore this?

The voice that can't be heard...


The author's comments:
This song was actually written about the slavery and sex trafficking that is out there. It is very real and very much thriving. It breaks my heart to know that there are people living like in bondage and pain like this, and it hurts me even more when people walk away when you ask their help to support these victims. Turning a blind eye does NOT make this issue any better. It only makes it worse. I REFUSE to sit here and watch this pain go on. I want to be a hope to these people. I WILL be a hope to these people.

Hey, thanks.

I totally agree about how this kind of inhumanity is going, and not being talked about. I really do hope some awareness of this topic will reach more and more people. Thanks for reading and commenting on my article, and for sure I will read some of your writing.

Take care hun,

~ Reaa

i loved it, and the meaning it speaks. 6/5. Its a hard thing to know that is and was happening and to know that people don't even care. I hope to read more of your writings, you have a lot of talent.

btw-can you check out some of my stuff?
