Warrior Woman

Don't ever feel sorry for me.

I am no victim. 

I am a warrior.

I am a woman 

of resilience, 

power,

and strength.

I lived through hell

many times over.

I traversed the realms

of darkness alone 

for what seemed like eons,

walking in exile,

and despite the fear, 

pain, and isolation, 

or perhaps because of them,

I learned fortitude,

determination,

and resilience.

I raised myself, 

I survived, 

I overcame, 

I transformed, 

and I learned how to thrive. 

Don't ever feel sorry for me.

I am no victim. 

I am a warrior.

I am a woman

of resilience, 

power, 

and strength.
