Warrior Woman

You knocked me down
And tried to keep me there.
You've used me for your own
Pleasure and enjoyment.

You've dirtied me up,
Making me feel used, unwanted.
You've stomped and trampled
Thinking I was broken,
Never to rise again.

But I've got news for you.
You, who are beasts and cowards.
You may have used me then,
But I will not let you win.

I am strong and will fight.
I may tire, but will not quit.
You may have brought me low,
But I will rise again.

I am not afraid of your threats,
Or your cunning ways.
I will fight with all I have,
Because I am a warrior.

Being a warrior means
I am worth fighting for.
I am beautiful, not ugly.
I am strong, not weak.
