perhaps all women have a warrior within them somewhere, some just don't show it or prefer not to...and yes sometimes we all must emerge from the shackles of what weighs us down and take hold of our own destiny, or at least help redirect the path... good write!

There are many warrior princesses around.. some looking for a real prince charming, sadly there are too many pretend princes and lots of Ogres around... power to the feminine form.. thats whay I say...

She will not just survive but thrive.. A powerful verse that each and every woman should live by. To find the warrior within ourselves.. Not all women have the luck to be free and live their lives as they aspire to..but all women have a strong spirit inside themselves ..they just need to delve deeper and find it. Awesome post.

Tom Woody
Date: 9/21/2023 3:30:00 PM

Wow dear Tom, this is a very empowering and uplifting write, dedicated to all the lion-hearted women. I love all these lines here, so full of strength and resilience.. "Her warrior heart beats to its own drum" I love the way you've phrased this, showing that she's her own decision maker and she vibes to her own unique rhythm. Nothing in this world can break her again.. Because that's the power of healing! Amazing, enjoyed reading this, a FAV definitely :)

What a coincidence i just wrote a poem on warrior women, and then here i see you’ve posted one too. Very well written. I especially loved “ her spirit is indomitable “ her eyes aflame with passion” “ she will not just survive” yes, i know so many warriors and they deserve to be celebrated. My poem was supposed to be a dedication to them too. Which i have been working on for two days hah. Great minds think alike: loved this , fave from me

I'm with you on this one, Tom, hats off and a gentleman's bow to all those warrior women that stand up for themselves and see themselves as equals with all they meet in life. Bill

Sadly, even in this 21st century women in some cultures remain oppressed, treated as servants or sex slaves. In God's eyes we're all equal, just different roles
