Warrior Heart

She stands before all in front of her,

carrying strength and courage

that has been used to build her. 

What others cannot see

are the scars, inside and out

from a prickly path

that provided never to be forgotten experience.

Walking alone without support,

days and nights feeling alone

from those sworn to give. 

Striking out to find her own.

Being lured into darkness,

not fully embracing confused feeling.

Knowing full submission

would not give full authority

to her new enlightened creation. 

Time spent in the darkness, searching,

gave strength and power

to hold the light she surrounds with.

Without experiencing turbulent times,

there would be no appreciation of the calm. 

She is able to stand tall,

staring down obstacles

that are attempting

to conquer and tear down

who she has become.

Determination beats within

the unstoppable Warrior’s heart.
