Be a soldier
Be a soldier
That’s what my brother said
Be brave stay strong
To stand on wheels
I don’t need to be fear
Don’t let nobody or anything
That scares me
Be a soldier
My mom’s always reminding me
Of that phrase
So I won’t be afraid
& not be so gullible
To argue a point of view
Stand up for a love one
Or a friend
Be a soldier
My nieces need to be
One
Like me,
I’m a soldier
I have to be one
Even if life or death
Scares me
I fight my own battles
I keep secrets
Even if I cry or whine
I’m strong
But not that strong enough
To be like a butterfly
When I’m that strong
I write poetry
Poetry draws me
Poetry makes me feel
& be a soldier
Each day when
My words flows
On paper
I’ve become more than
A soldier
I’ve become a
Goddess…
