I wear my war face daily,
this heart’s on fire,
carving love and
peace into each stone
I cross,
the ones feeling misfit
although we’re all
exactly where we need
to be…
learning and
gaining strength
for the next mission
we recieve;
I am brave
although inside,
these wounds scream
to turn back,
I will not
as I’m a warrior
and warriors don’t leave
battles for someone else
to fight alone,
they run towards fear
and seek to destroy it,
so the wounded can see
they carry purpose
as does the one who
came to fight by their side;
warriors aren’t born,
they’re made
through the pain,
darkness,
and fears
they must have to conquer
with the One who knows
they’re going to win
with His truth and strength.
