Female Warrior

Born to be a true warrior
never given the choice
Being muted as a child i 
was not allowed a voice

Growing into this woman
with everyday being a fight
And as a real warrior never 
questioned my very plight

Fearlessly into the battles
in one hand I held my sword
In my other was my shield
striding into monsters hoard

Face to face turned into a 
head to head vilolent clash
As their razor sharp claws 
reached out trying to slash

Dodging to my right then
my left I would then sway
With heavy swings from 
my weapon I would slay

Fate determined my life to
living a warriors crusade
All alone in this hard world
Me, my shield and my blade
