Stop the Abuse Together

I scream.
I yell.
Why won't anyone hear me?
I am yelling at the top of my voice
for all the abuse that occurs
but nothing is happening.
What should I do?
It is not fair
for adults and children
to live through any sort of Hell.
It's time to stop the abuse!
Who is with me?
The more people who yell,
the sooner the abuse will stop.
We scream!
We yell!
We are finally being heard!
