#warrior poems on Hello Poetry

slippy slimy slime
slugging through time
sublime hate crime
it’s a pain going through mine
• • •
don’t you know?
what it’s like to fight with all your might
pity going through
but at the end
you’ve won the battle

Salva te ipsa (save yourself) pt 2

I can save myself.
'salva te ipsa' marks my arm, a reclamation, declaration, that this body is mine!

I can love myself.
I can love myself so feircly that not even a thunderstorm dare rain on me.

I can fix my own ******* crown.
For it was my war-torn haands that placed it upon my head.

Bloom

Through all of this, I grow strong against the wind and rain,
blooming from the dark place I was buried; growing from the pain.

Warrior

In this sacred place
Within me
Are the eyes I never knew
The wiser version of me
The temple of my soul
Watching over me
Painting out my path
Of who I am
Calling out my name
And who am I?
“Warrior”

Warrior

I am a warrior.
Stronger than her demons.
Braver than the darkness.
