She's a woman too

She's a woman too, 
Do you see her?
She's a woman too, 
Do you see HER?
She is a woman like the one you stared at on the bus
She is a woman like the one you drooled over in a magazine
She is a woman like the one your friends fight over
She is...
But you don't see her
Because she is invisible
Maybe it's not your fault that you don't see her
Maybe she wants to be invisible
Maybe when she is alone with herself she is sad
Sad to think of who she was
She watches Shirley Valentine and she laughs out loud
Perhaps if you look closer you will see what the laughter hides
She cries, she is Shirley, with every breath
She may not like a glass of wine 
She may not talk to the wall
But she knows that is who she is
Invisible, she's made herself invisible
She doesn't want you to see
Doesn't want you to see how she is
Because she remembers when people winked at her
Wanted her attention
Called on her wanting any of her time
She doesn't want you to see her now
Because she doesn't want to see herself
She watches you when a pretty girl walks by
She sees your gaze follow her 
She remembers, but she knows you can't see her now
She made herself invisible.
She doesn't want to look at herself
And see everything she gave up
To be a wife, a mother 
She's been on autopilot so long
She doesn't know how to fly any more
Doesn't know how to honour her desires
Doesn't know how to find her joy
Doesn't know how to reclaim herself
You walk past her every day
She is legion
For she is many
But she is a woman too
