The Girl In The Looking Glass

Why was I born an obstacle?

Why is being a woman, considered as one?

For I can learn and I am capable

Yet none of it matters, for I am not a son

If you truly need more soldiers

Please just take me instead

My father knows no limits, but I do

Just treat me as one of your men

I will fulfill my role as a soldier

I am a female and a fighter

I am a woman and a warrior

I may not be perfect

But I will fight for her

The girl in the looking glass

Who has failed as a daughter

She will fulfill her role as a soldier

She is a woman, she is a warrior

She is the girl worth fighting for
