Warrior In Me Poem by Carole Cookie Arnold

Rage wields a destructive force
Maximum winds on a deadly course
Unbridled emotions borderline minds
Twisting and turning till land it finds.

They hide in the shadows covering lies
Never bold enough to be more than spies
A day of reckoning has now arrived
I am locked and loaded and revived

Trained by the best a sharpened dart
I'm coming for you rover to impart
You ravaged my dignity and respect
The mission I'm on is for you to detect.

All you have seen is the good side of me
Let me introduce 'The Warrior' you see
Finding shadows and flushing them out
Wielding Gods weapons with a mighty shout

I throw you an offer one last time
Step out of the shadows enemy mine
Walked into shadows, unleashed the light
Found them cowering a sickening sight

Placing my Bible back in my pocket
Removed their names from the docket
Remembering the times when sisters we were
She chose the shadows Me? I stayed pure

People do such cruel things to others
I gave my heart to my sisters and brothers
Empowered by how well you maintained
Through God and His Mercy I am Sustained
