Poetry: Woman Soldier in the Civil War
She was always enthralled by warefare
They told her
No place for a woman
Too delicate
Too weak
They couldn’t see past her outside
To see the brave
Valiant
Courageous
Daring
Soul that she was
Many men fighting were weaker than her
The war needed her
She would become one of them
She cut her hair
Burned her dresses
Transforming her self
Into a presentable man
She would fight alongside them
Refusing help when wounded
To keep her identity hidden
She would prove herself
For their cause was her cause
