Suppressed Origins

No one talks about us 

They all remember the heroes 

The ones who slew the Mistress of Stone 

The ones who were given heroic tasks 

The ones who had to fight just for taking a peek in the dark 

But they would not be here without us 

We are the ones with the beauty 

The beauty that attracted THEM 

THEY come for us 

Flaunting THEIR power to the powerless 

Immortality poisons the mind 

Lets THEM believe that they can come and take our bodies 

We are the mothers of the tragic greats 

They faced trials and became heroes 

But what about our retribution? 

There was no #metoo

We were broken and then left to rot 

We scream but no one cares 

They look at our hollowed faces and turn away 

They let THEM do this to us because they need their heroes 

As long as there are bigger problems they will allow this injustice to happen

We are pushed into silence 

As our violation becomes celebrated 

We must act proud because we brought forth heroes 

But they are no heroes to us 

Nor will there ever be
