Scarificated by adversity

Without my scars
I wouldn't be who I am today 
I'm branded to live a prodigy 
I look strong
I was built by fragile moments...

Without my bruises
I wouldn't have known 
What healing feels like 
I had to break to mend
I earned my knowledge 
Through a remake 
Of my broken pieces. 
I was purified through storms...

Call me a woman
A human raised by inhumane 
And favored by brutal circumstances 
I was circumcised by pain
I bled and earned my wisdom 
Through lightning brought by
Forces of nature. 

The world doesn't care
When adversity dictates
It doesn't show up
It lets nature be at play
While i was a chess game
A queen at her moves.
I bled to earn my throne,
My title and my crown
Of Queenship
