Warrior of God

"God, God!" I yelled and cried.

God why have you abandoned me.

I drank to see if the pain would go away.

"God!," I said I still feel hurt

I still feel pain!

Then I finally gave up and cried for days and saw nothing but darkness

Then a voice came and said, " Get up, don't give up, put on your shield, put on your armour!"

The voice was mad the voice was hurt the voice was commanding me to " Get up and fight."

Then the voice said " You are a warrior princess of God."

I love you and the battle is not done it has just begun.

Baring your inner self on stage to an audience of strangers takes courage. I applaud you...

Keep it up.
