Buried within their soul

The facts, the truth
what he said so true
that the pain was pushed down
buried in their soul

Not coming forward
the pain too great
yet heroes when they were called
standing in the breach

Not all of those who have known this
unwanted touching
many still hidden
in the dark recesses

The facts, the truth
pushed down in the past
open wounds unhealed
when evil stalks the earth

based on comment by attorney for one of
the Sandusky victims
after the verdict
