A woman has to relive her trauma to prove it happened

She's blamed for things beyond her control.

For the brutal wars and vengeful storms.

Everything she does and says is wrong in their eyes.

They know she's innocent, but they don't care!

The courage it took for her to speak out

Only to be ridiculed and ignored.

The elites consider her a criminal

Just for being a woman

It still happens
