I canât apologize for being a warrior because you made me this way. I have turned my skin into armor that deflects the harsh judgements and inevitable rejection. I must fight for myself because who else will? I canât be savedâ Iâve already saved myself. Donât get angry when I put up my shieldâ Iâve never felt a tender touch. I am not beautiful or soft, I am strong because I have no choice.
