I have lived on this green earth
Only fourteen years
And yet Fate has already placed
Her mark on me.
I am young, yet I am no child.
I am a girl, yet grown men bow before me.
My ivory skin
Once so soft
Is now torn with battle scars.
Where did my innocence go?
They thought they could control me
They thought they could give me away
They thought I would be weak
But they were wrong.
I am a warrior princess
And I will be no man's prize.
If you want me, come and claim me!
I dare you.
My gowns I have traded
For mail and armor
My crown for a helm
My kingdom for a horse.
They say I am beautiful
And perhaps I am.
My lips are red--
Red as the blood I have shed
To protect what I love.
My eyes are gray
Like the tears I have cried.
My life is not an easy one.
But I am not afraid to fight
My enemies learn that the hard way.
And the pain it causes others
Pales in light of the pain
It causes me.
I am a warrior princess. So I was, so I am, and so I shall be.
