A warrior’s poem by Amayah Shalom Zirai
Some will call it a disease
But I will say you are awarrior
Everyday is a battle and you win
Sometimes you lose but your response is to fight.
To a warrior whose tears are never without result you deserve your accolades.
In a society where you are looked down yet the creator looks down on you with smiles and no regret because you are perfect in your imperfections.
I celebrate a dare victor one whose bravery is not without recognition for the sleepless nights, the hospital visits, the IVs, the pain.
You have yet shown the world that you are a conqueror.
In the midst of battles you pick up the courage to smile, chasing your dreams without relent your passion for changing the world has not changed because you are the change we need.
Through it all we stand with our warriors who are fighting everyday and we see you and embrace your part in our world.
To the ones we’ve lost, your impact will forever be on the sands of time, we honor your existence now and always.
To the warriors around the world never give up, keep up the fight it will be worth it.
