A warrior's heart

She is a warrior at heart— not because she fights, but because she loves with a force that could lift a whole world back to its feet. She gives until her hands are empty, then finds a way to give a little more— the last of her time, the last of her comfort, the last piece of herself she thought she had to save. She does the hard things because her spirit knows the difference between easy and right. She sacrifices quietly, loves loudly, and stands behind the people she cares for as if she were made of armor and light. And all she asks in return is the smallest echo of what she offers— a touch of support, a flicker of love, a little of the care she pours into others. But too often, she receives less than even her modest asking. Still, her heart stays open. Still, she carries more than most ever see. But now— it’s time. Time for her to call back the pieces of herself she handed to the ungrateful. Time to reclaim the strength she laid at the feet of those who never deserved it. Time to rise not for others, but for herself. Because a warrior’s power was never meant to be drained— it was meant to be honored. And she is a warrior at heart… ready now to take her power back
