New Women

I am breaking inside,

As I watch the world fly by,

Because everything we have worked for,

Has gone out of the door.

What happened to my rights,

To feeling safe and free,

What happened to the normality,

Of owning property?

What happened to the idea,

That everyone can be equal but different,

Because now I'm stuck,

Under your rock.

You stash me away,

And hide me inside,

Trading my body,

For the new woman's lie.

They call themselves true,

Born as me and you,

But I know that there's difference,

In everything about them.

How can you do this to me?

How can you let them hurt me?

I guess I'm worthless to you, too.
