Looking at the title of this post, I am sure that you are scratching your head wondering, what the heck?! Yes, they all have relation to one another. How so, you might ask. They are all strong and come back when they are knocked down. There is a reason why I grouped them all together, including this quote I found, from r.h. Sin, one of my favorite writers/poets and I know that there are a lot more great quotes about this subject. “heavy is the crown and yet she wears it as if it were a feather. there is strength in her heart, determination in her eyes and the will to survive resides within her soul. she is you. a warrior, a champion, a fighter, a queen.” I know that we all have this strength within us or a will to get back up and keep fighting. I was also inspired to write about this because I have had a strong interest in kickboxing, especially since I took a kickboxing class when I was in college. Naturally, I think I am a fighter so I know that other people are. I am lucky, I know, but I am still determined and work hard. I try my best to embody all of these. Other people probably do the same.
We have to be all of these people, although we really do not have to be a warrior, queen or a fighter. What I am saying is that although you do not have to be one of those kinds of people, I would say to have the mentality of one or all of those people. Be strong and fierce like a warrior. Have the confidence and wear the crown like the a queen. Get back up and keep going like a fighter. I know that we are all going through our own battles and fights, sometimes on a daily basis. We never give up and still just keep pushing, sometimes even through the pain.
There are some of us who are lucky enough to have people right there with us through it all including the pain, sadness, tears, scars, etc. They never try to change us, they are there to support us and to not tear us down. They let us be fighters, warriors, and queens, if we want to. I also want to inspire people by including lyrics to one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite human beings/singers, “Warrior” by Demi Lovato. Now I’m a warrior/I’ve got thicker skin/I’m a warrior/I’m stronger than I’ve ever been/And my armor, is made of steel, you can’t get in/I’m a warrior/And you can never hurt me again.” Since we have some slightly different subjects in here I will include more than one piece. I encourage my readers to keep fighting and be someone who never gives up. Cheers!!
Fighter
You see the scars and all the pain.
You still want me with it all anyways.
You let the tears that fall down stain
Our clothes and sheets. You gaze
At me and still love me no matter what
Happens. I always surprise and amaze
You every day. Even the punch in the gut
Does not phase you one bit. You say I am
A fighter, head held high. When I shut
Down and feel empty you open the dam
To let me feel everything with you right
There. On the days I when I want to slam
The door shut on you and take flight
You pick me up in your arms to show
Me how much you care. You are my light
And you never try to take away my glow.
I am not living in the shadows and doubt
Anymore. I am living every low
And high with you. I am never in this bout
And fight alone. You are in my corner.
They should know we would never bow out.
Like A Queen
Do not let them tell you a lie.
You are better than every dead
Flower at your feet. Do not cry
Because of despair. Keep your head
Up straight and keep walking because
You never realize you have rosy red
Lips like the queen of hearts. People’s jaws
Hit the ground because you are full of
Wonder and beauty. Continue the buzz
Following you everywhere. Shove
Aside the hatred and jealousy.
You are wonder woman. Endless love
Is in your heart. You have better clarity
About the world all around you.
People want to worship you endlessly
Because you have made it through
Every fire and storm still intact.
People have not realized you grew
Stronger because of it all. You are cracked
Below the surface and far from flawless
Like everybody else. You make an impact
On the world. You never get enough solace
Because people think of you as unbreakable.
Although you are bold, you are still cautious
With a presence that is unshakable.
And your life lessons are unmistakable.
