The Warrior in Me

The Warrior in Me

 

Attempting to stand strong

In the midst of all the wrong,

Staring into the unknown,
Hoping wisdom to bestow.

 

Seeking the best

Through life’s tests,

Even when in despair,

The warrior in me dares.

 

I want to give up

As I hold my now empty cup.

Drained of everything,

I have nothing to bring.

 

Stepping out in faith,

Do I have what it takes?

Having been beat down,

Can the warrior in me still be found?

 

Time blinks its thinning eyelashes,

Never again to find a period which matches.

Locked in yesterday’s vault,

Never to live in tomorrow’s all.

 

Through tears, I close my eyes

Hoping she arrives.

Here I am, in my need...

Calling the warrior in me.
