Warrior

I am down, down on the ground

He has brought me down on my knees

I feel the concrete and dirt underneath my fingernails

My knees are scraped, my clothes are torn

I have a scratch across the left side of my face

He is laughing with great pride that he has worn me down

He keeps kicking my side as I cry in pain

I need to get up and fight

But he keeps laughing and keeps hitting me

He thinks all of the power belongs to him

Just because he can push me around

But I have had enough, I refuse to take it anymore

I slowly crawl back onto my feet

As he continues to kick and hit me, I stumble a few times

But I manage to straggle on my feet and stare into his eyes

He is still laughing and swinging his fists

I dodge a few fists and kicks and his laughter stops

He realizes that now I have become strong

I will fight him, I will prevail

I will fight back, he will not win

I start fighting back, and he is shocked

He slowly backs away, and wants to run

Now he is he one who is scared because he sees the fire in my eyes

I am ready to finally get back for all of the pain

I have become strong and fierce

I have become my own warrior.
