THE WARRIOR WITHIN

Her little eyes stared off in space
She turned her back away
Somehow you knew deep down
Her silence would make you pay
She seldom used her words
She couldn't look you in the eye
Stifled, muted, silenced
She became introverted, shy
She did the only thing she knew to do
She turned and ran away
You have to speak her body language
Of you want to know what her mind has to say
When you've learned to fear your own voice
And you have to keep your thoughts inside
You feel as though you don't matter
Like a part of you has died
She remembered the angry voices
People screaming in her face
She did the only thing she knew to do
Take cover and find a safe place
The warrior from within, rose up
She won't be silenced anymore
Her voice became like thunder
She's come to fight and win this war
