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.
