Slaying the hormones.

23rd of April, the year 2025

My life as I knew it changed,

A wiser girl with experience,

With nothing she ever wants to change.

Early on 24^th, the air seemed tense,

My heart beat like a hummingbird’s wings,

My fingers tingled,

As I took off my cross pendant and rings.

Each soldier surrounding me smiled and beamed,

Their words telling me stories,

But behind their shields, I saw them sad,

Trying their hardest to mask their fears.

The moment came and I entered the battlefield,

I didn’t know if I would win,

My mamma’s smile was final view,

And my daddy’s loving grin.

Inside the room it was a foreign world,

Something new and scary

But with a prayer I closed my eyes,

And entered the dreaming sea.

5 hours later or maybe a minute,

A victorious winner emerged,

With her family surrounding her all together,

To them she will be grateful forever and forever.
