She called herself a fighter,
Yet, there was no victory assigned
to her non-existent list of battles.
What is in a fighter if not for the
monuments dedicated to their names?

She called herself a survivor,
Yet, she had never had an
encounter with the entity called death.
What is in a survivor if not for the endless
bruises and scars that they endured?

Oh she was! Her fights, much more
brutal than battles won by warriors.
And her scars, deeper -though unseen-
than that of a knight. And they asked:
'What is in a fighter if not for a girl that
overcame her translucent battles?'
