beaten down
beaten up
in the face of abuse
hurt, great sorrow
despair overwhelming
life sapped
life drained
a bruise, a mark,
not able to be hidden
welling up
in the face of abuse
great sorrow
needing support
in the moment,
now, right now
raised up, lifted
may they be comforted
those suffering often in silence
may someone be there
to lift them up
