Warrior
Saphira Pasquale 1999 (Cape Town)
My life’s been survival of the fittest
Yet I still stand on my own two feet
Power in each step I take
I didn’t become this fierce over night
I’ve died a thousand times
Brought myself back after almost drowning
Look at me and you’ll see a girl
When I look at me
I see the trouble in my eyes
They can lie to everyone
But me
