She’s a warrior under her dress,
She’s a warrior, in spite of her mess,
She’s a warrior, master of love and charm,
She’s a warrior, even when she receives harm,
Warrior Woman, today,
Warrior Woman, tonight,
Warrior Woman until the next fight.

Hi Amy, I am also a poet, and seriously appreciate your take on us “wounded” women as truly being warriors; because we truly are. As poets who are blessed with the gift of powerfully communicating both our trials and tribulations in life; it is absolutely ESSENTIAL that we honestly share our experience, strength, and hope with other women and girls to help empower & prepare them for this (sadly still) brutal, sexist, misogynistic, unequal, & oppressive patriarchal society✌️
