She is a Wounded Warrior

(The Ultimate Battle)

She is a wounded warrior.

Shaped by storms that scarred her soul.

Life dealt her trials, yet she stands whole,

refusing to let strife define her role.

For too long, her world spun in chaotic despair,

a whirlwind of pain she thought she’d always bear.

But one day, she saw a light breaking through—

a life she wanted and deserved, a path brand new.

She shattered the chains she once entrapped herself in,

and this time, as life’s blade cut deeply into her skin,

she chose to let her demons out versus inviting more of them in.

For wounds can be healed,

and scars concealed,

leaving wisdom that life’s trials revealed.

She is led by a strength these battles instilled.

There’s something remarkable in her fight,

a brilliance born from the darkest night.

A body carved by life’s persistent pain.

Yet through her losses she finds her gains.

She is a wounded warrior.
