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✌️
Thank you for your kind comment. I don’t share my poetry often, so this means a lot. Our best words come from deep pain, as sad as that seems. But, like you said, it’s in an effort to powerfully speak to those who need to hear it. xoxo
