Stalking (inspirational poem about women victims of violence) by Stefano Donno

Amidst the pain and sorrow,

The violence that they've known,

Women stand up tall and proud,

Their resilience clearly shown.

 

Though they have been abused,

And suffered at the hands of men,

They refuse to be silenced,

And rise again and again.

 

They may have been knocked down,

But they refuse to stay there,

With every breath they take,

They rise up from despair.

 

Their courage is a beacon,

Their strength a shining light,

They stand up for themselves,

And for all who suffer in their plight.

 

They band together in solidarity,

To fight for what is right,

To end the cycle of violence,

And bring an end to the night.

 

They are warriors of justice,

Their spirits cannot be tamed,

And they will not be defeated,

For their power cannot be named.

 

So let us all stand with them,

And lend our voices to their cry,

For a world without violence,

Where women can soar high.
