I'm a warrior
Nothing more nothing less
I have seen fear in my peoples eyes.
I watched them grieve when times were hard

I watch as the children grow
In these ever-changing times.
We celebrate our victories no matter how small they are
We remind our selves of the old days
And keep the legends alive,
We forget not those who are gone from our sight

But remain forever more in our hearts.
The battle scars I bear remain
But the price paid is very little
With honor and pride
We keep our heads high
Never with shame do we let them fall

It is the people we protect
I stand corrected it is our family who we protect
For in this given time there no one I would object
Outsiders see our ways
And are curious as to how we stay so passive to the world outside
But then again we all have our secrets
That must never be revealed.
Many brother and sisters we have lost
To some great cause
But never just for the sake of blood on blood.
By now you have read my words
A warrior you say it must be male
To all you who guessed so I must say otherwise
I am a warrior female
Because in my tribe we are seen as equals.
