Poetry – I am not a warrior

Posted by

I am not a warrior

I am not at war with my illnesses. 

I am in an intimate and sometimes dramatic dance with illness. 

I am not a warrior, I am a peaceful envoy. 

I am a striver and thriver. 

My body is not a battleground.

My body is mysterious and wondrous. 

I am not a warrior.
