i rise
from the ashes of the earth
i rise —
on the wings
of broken dreams,
and step into the shadows
of my enemies
with my sword of strength ...
you may cut me down
but i will rise —
no man on high or below
can shake me.
i am the warrior of my sisters,
the armour of their daughters,
and the shield of our mothers ...
i rise
with my head held high,
the wind at my feet
and you cannot stop me -
for i am a storm of bravery
a whirlwind of beauty
— the danger of the beast of men
