Forgotten Women
Everything hurts when you've realised,
No one else remembers
Blatantly ignored--erased
Wiped from the minds of the populace
They're dancing, burning embers
Once dazzling, now irrelevant, men are listless
Two faced expectations a scourge
History ripped from the books
Stereotypes we have to purge
They only care about their looks
To sit dimly like a doll
Mouth shut, heads held down
They'd all rather fall
Shatter on the ground at dawn
Looking at the blazing sun
Burning with their rage and indignation
The status quo undone
I'd like an invitation
