There were days
Our only armor
Was to paint our skin
Before striding
Into a battle
And the today
Where we might be hidden
Behind subtler paints
But no less
Ready for the battle
To be waged
Delicate and fierce
Whether slight or imposing
We entered a knighthood
Unspoken and ignored
Because warrior women
Could not be
Though every woman
Has a warrior living in a space in her mind
At the ready
For the moment
She must raise her hand
And conquer again ~ Caroline A. Slee
