The Maiden's Knight

In the realm of heartbeats and stardust born, There dwelled a maiden, by time, weather-worn, Yet beneath her skin, a radiance shone, A fervor unyielding, a spirit unknown.

No prince or knight came knocking at her door, No fairy-tale promise, no love sworn lore, But she, with eyes gleaming, sparked with desire, Sheathed herself in courage, setting her soul afire.

In the mirror, a warrior reflected, Not a damsel, frail and dejected. In the echo of her solitude, she found her might, Emerging from the shadows, a beacon of light.

Beneath the moon's gaze and the sun's bright roar, She donned her armor, ready for war, Not against beasts, dragons, or foe men, But against doubt, fear, time and again.

Her sword, her voice, sharp and clear, Her shield, her heart, facing the mirror, Her helm, her mind, unyielding, strong, Her steed, her dreams, where she truly belonged.

She charged ahead, her spirit ablaze, Through the fog of despair, the storm's wild craze, In the stillness, she found her power, In her reflection, her shining tower.

And in the silence of the night, she came to see, Her strength, her valor, her own decree, No prince required, no rescuer sought, For she was her own knight, self-taught.

She was a fortress, a tempest, a blazing star, Carving her path, near and far, An echo in the wind, a whisper in the rain, A woman standing tall, unchained.

So, dear maiden, wherever you might be, Know this truth, and set it free, You're your own hero, your knight in shining armor, In the battlefield of life, you're the most daring charmer.

In the dance of destiny, twirling alone, Savor the strength that's entirely your own, Hold your head high, let your spirit roar, For you are a warrior, forevermore.
