War!
I hit and abused. I bruised skins.
My claws tore more than just flesh.
I wounded both body and spirit.
I spoke damage and death.
I condemned and sentenced souls…
War!
It felt good to be in the battlefield.
I was lord of all punishment
I controlled the events in splits of time.
I staged the scenes and starred in them
I was great, I was real, I was plain.
War within…
I’m glad it didn’t happen without.
My own swords cut my flesh.
And I contained the rage to a tranquil calm.
The red in my eyes to a graceful white,
The noise in my bowels to a silent face…
War, War within…
I’m happy it never came without.

You are SAFE now Mariana!
Any male who thinks a Woman can’t become a Formidable Warrior called ‘Wonder Woman’ in times of CRISIS, and even outdo their male counter-parts, because of the difference in their egos’ agendas, is a FOOL!!!

May I simply say what a comfort to uncover somebody who genuinely knows what they are talking about on the internet. You certainly realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people ought to check this out and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you’re not more popular because you surely have the gift.
