2018

a young woman stands in a corner
her back against the wall
who is there to hear her shout
to listen to her pleas
its a mans world

she screams
who will listen
alone in the darkness
her thoughts are her march
forward not upward

she cries
who is there to watch
who will hear her
alone

someday you will listen
someday you will watch
someday

Excellent title highlighting the incomprehensibility of this issue in present times. Well done, Tina.
