Tera Johnson-Swartz Poet Kyrielle

I Am

The loudest, fiercest fighter brave
Amidst a sea of coward men 
I wear my war paint bound to save
The underdog that might have been

Or sometimes quiet as the night
Entangled, buried, rooted deep
I wait unyielding for the light 
Patient poised for peace to reap

But never waver, always be
Proud warrior, steadfast and true
I walk these steps on bended knee
This life, on loan, I will not reu
