She knew she had to submit
She knew the challenge ahead
She knew she’d chosen to do this
And today was the day of “Red”
She steeled herself internally
She held her honor tight
She took her first breath with eternity
And forged her first step in respite
The wind blew harder in anger
The trees swayed in response
The rain began to fall as anchors
As she strode with nonchalance
The dark ground became saturated
The days light began to wane
The terrain grew ever more complicated
And her surroundings flung disdain
Her mind begged her to stop moving
Her body tired, yearned reprieve
Her eyes watered tears, disapproving
And she almost granted their relief
Her heart instead pushed forward
Her muscles echoed the command
Her soul rang out, fates call restored
And she trudged on through The Woodland
She reached the door she’d aimed for
And steeled herself to fight
She entered proud, this state of war
Her life fated for this plight
