What Could You Say

What could you say,
if your daughter ever got raped?
or say your son was a mass murderer,
or had a life you couldn't escape?
What could you say,
if your body was so broken,
because your father beat you,
and called you names that remain unspoken?
what could you say
if you fell into depression
became bulimic or anorexic
because of your body's imperfections?
what could you say,
if tears came to my eyes?
would you hold my tightly in your arms?
or simply watch me cry
what could you say
if my words came to an end?
Would you help me recover from broken hopes
and help me make amends
what would you say
if I were never here
would you continue on with everyday life
as I slowly disappear?
