The Warrior in me
In the depths of my past, I rose above the pain, where darkness once thronged.
Through physical torment and mental , and emotional abuse,
I found the strength within, a power to choose.
Bruised and battered, I refused to give in,
A fighter within, ready to begin.
With every blow received, I held my ground,
In the midst of chaos, my strength was found.
I will not be defined by the scars I bear,
For within my soul, an unwavering flair.
With each hurtful word, my spirit stood tall,
Resilient and unyielding, I refused to fall.
Through the trials endured, I discovered my might,
A warrior's heart, shining in the darkest night.
For in the face of torment, I discovered a way,
To rise above, to overcome, despite the dismay.
My past may haunt me, but it won't define,
The strength that within me, forever will shine.
I am a warrior, fierce and unbreakable,
Conquering the battles, rewriting my fable.
No longer a victim, I embrace my worth,
Unleashing my power, finding my rebirth.
In the tapestry of my life, scars thread the way,
But they signify my journey, strength on display.
So, let the world take notice of my fierce stride,
A warrior of the past, with nothing left to hide.
I stand tall, unyielding, my spirit unwavering,
Strengthened by the battles that I'm bravely facing.
I celebrate my triumph and grace,
A testament to the strength that I embrace.I remain,
A warrior, unbroken, strong despite the pain.
