Rise, Young Warrior

In a world that seeks to dim your light,
And moulds you to a quiet form,
Remember, young warrior, stand and fight,
For within you brews a mighty storm.

They say to hide your tears, your fears,
To shun the strength that makes you bold,
But let not society’s harsh veneer,
Cast you in a lifeless mould.

Rise above the whispered scorn,
Embrace the power within your heart,
For every challenge you have borne,
Is a testament to your art.

They seek to bend you to their will,
To silence the roar within your chest,
But let your spirit, fierce and still,
Rise above, and be your best.

In the face of doubt, hold your ground,
Let your voice be clear, your stance be proud,
For you are more than what’s allowed,
A force of nature, strong and loud.

Do not conform to silent norms,
That strip away your essence, true,
For in the heart of every storm,
Is a warrior, brave and new.

Let compassion be your guiding star,
And strength your steadfast shield,
For you are who you truly are,
With courage that will never yield.

Rise, young warrior, claim your place,
In this world that seeks to tame,
With courage, dignity, and grace,
Stand tall, and honour your name.
