Silent warrior

I know now what I want to be
It is not to make war with weaponry
I have no arsenals at my disposal
No strength but what is inside
I want to be

A silent warrior

A loud warrior runs towards danger
And enjoys the thrill of the fight
And does everything to appear tough
And runs away from what is inside

A silent warrior is open and truly free
Not afraid to see
Everything that is inside
She turns away from violent fight

She wages war on fear and ignorance
Her war is with herself, not others
And her victory?

Self-mastery

A silent warrior speaks through actions
She has no need to be loud or appear tough
She is fluent, like water
And when she strikes
She is swift, and quiet like the wind

Her strikes create security
Peace in her own heart and that of others
She needs no one to fear her
She settles for being efficient and effective

And lets others get the spotlight

This dedication to peace is hard
It is not pretension, but real strength
To see clearly, even when it hurts

I long for this

I needed to be loud and „tough“ once
No more, I know my way
I want to be

A silent warrior
