I am a warrior

"Here’s to the girl who shattered the chains,

I fly without looking back, because I have reason,

I have will, and I have fire in my bones.

I broke free, yet nowhere to run,

Only the battle left in my blood.

A child on my back, my last breath’s hope,

And still, that tiny life is enough to renew my strength.

I rise, bruised but never beaten,

And carve my fate with hands that know no surrender.

No one will take my choice away from me,

For I am a woman forged in fire,

Holding the sharpest knife by the edge, where it cuts.

And I will fight till the end of time.
