Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

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

CayCay Godwin June 6, 2026 at 9:59 PM I could have penned this. Love this. I've never lived easy. I was meant to experience a little bit of everything rough/smooth, hurtful/joyous, on and on I could go. Perhaps you have that Karma/North Node, too. It seems while my response as a child was to avoid being noticed while having no doubt that I was perfect to God, your response was to bravely go forth, full stage out loud. Your writing skills impress me as does your warrior. Are u a fire sign? CayCay Brenda Chiri July 24, 2026 at 10:09 PM Thx so much CayCay I do appreciate the read and love the comment!:)

Paul Callus May 26, 2019 at 12:07 PM Only a woman of strength is capable of overcoming the harsh realities of life, Brenda, and you have proven more than once that you possess that internal strength.
