here's to the women that stay
and the women that leave

the women that follow their hearts
and chase their dreams

the women stuck in between
bursting at the seams

here's to the women
confused
desperate
loud
and frantic

i toast to you at your funeral
too late in ever making a difference
because you screamed and thrashed and cried

and no one listened

i'm sorry

here's to you
and all of our empty apologies
