A warrior, every day I rise, With pain that burns but never dies, My battles fought in silence deep, As I turn my pain into power to keep.

My spirit is strong, my heart so brave, I am a silent warrior, never to cave, I never give up, no matter the cost, and My determination never to be lost.

Through trials and pain, I stand tall, Never to falter, never to fall, My sword of strength, my shield of might, I am a warrior, I fight the fight.

Every day, a new battle to face, With each challenge, my courage I embrace, And though the road ahead may be long, I am a warrior, and I will stay strong.

So let my pain be my fuel, As I strive to be a warrior, bold and true, For I will never give up, never to bow, I am a warrior, and I take my vow.
