We are Forgotten

In the dark of the night

We are forgotten

Gone and never to return

We are forgotten

No soul bothers to hear our pleas

We are forgotten

Just because we are not as tall

We are forgotten

Or don't have perfect skin

We are forgotten

Maybe it's because we don't have pretty hair

We are forgotten

Or even because we eat on a regular basis

We are forgotten

We are the few who see through this superficial society

Yet we are forgotten

Once we are gone, who will remember

We are forgotten

All that we have worked for through this short life

We are forgotten

As our names gradually fade into oblivion,

We will fight for memory every step of the way.
