Warrior

Fight through the darkness and embrace your light

By Karen QuinnPublished 5 years ago Updated 5 years ago 2 min read

I have been through darkness,

I’ve beaten my past,

I’ve found my peace,

Let’s hope it will last,

My dreams are unfolding,

My life is a dream,

Happiness in the moment,

For the seen and unseen,

I am a fighter,

I’ll never give in,

A wounded contender,

I’ll strive to win,

No room for defeat,

No room to lose,

I have to decide,

I have to choose,

I will fight for my dreams,

I’ll begin again,

I’ll never stop striving,

It’s just a matter of when,

When your mindset changes,

So does your life,

You create your destiny,

No longer in strife,

We all control our lives,

We all have a choice,

We can let ourselves drown,

With the external noise,

Or we can choose,

To make a difference,

To be complete,

Or live in ignorance,

Life is a journey,

We choose to play,

To find our hearts,

To win this game,

So don’t falter,

We can fall and break,

But we don’t have to,

We don’t forsake,

Our inner truth,

Our wisdom within,

Our voice inside,

That won’t give in,

Because we are one,

Warriors inside,

Fulfil your dreams,

Full of pride,

No more suffering,

Stay true to you,

A warriors breath,

Is what you do,

When you feel like dying,

And you crumble away,

Grab your light,

To brighten your way,

Push yourself up,

When you fall,

Push on through,

Break that wall,

Because we choose,

To stay down,

To lose our way,

To suffer and frown,

But a warrior spirit,

Will still take a fall,

The difference is,

How you heed the call,

Because a warrior,

Does not win every time,

But gets back up,

And continues to climb,

The heart of a warrior,

Just won’t quit,

They become stronger,

With each hit,

So you can choose,

You can pick,

Are you a warrior?

Now let that click,

The choice is yours,

To rise again,

If you’re a warrior,

The question is when,

So don’t back down,

Never stop going,

It’s just walking in mud,

To stop you flowing,

The more you push,

You’ll get through,

It lives inside all,

It lives in you,

So embrace yourself,

You warrior soul,

Reach for the sky,

And surpass your goal.
