My Knight in Shining Armor

I almost hesitate to post this poem for various reasons, I don't know that it's finished yet, but that's because a poem is a living breathing thing, not ever "finished", I'm also terrified that it will be stolen, so please don't plagiarize my hard work.


That being said I really put a lot into this poem. I had been toying with the concept of it for a few years before it actually found its way onto a piece of paper. But when it finally came together, I was so happy. I've had a few friends read it and they didn't get it, which kind of bummed me out, but most everyone else has understood what's going on. I hope you will too:

Knight in Shining Armor

There’s a knight in shining armor

That I dream of every night

He saves me from the dragon

When I’m sad he holds me tight

He tells me I’m a princess

And if I listen to his words

I will stand out far apart

From the masses and the herds

I know that this my Knight is real

I feel it in my heart

He doesn’t ride a great white horse

That’s what sets him apart

He walks with humble garment

When the armor disappears

I see his face and marvel

And I tremble as he nears

I realized that my dragon

Was the awful beast of sin

And my Lord and my redeemer

My knight to take me in

I know I am a princess

I am a daughter of The King

With a perfect older brother

To that knowledge I will cling

I’ll listen to my brother

Who’s wise, and kind and just

And he’ll help me fight my dragon

As fight, I know, I must


Well, I hope you liked it. I promise to post an update on my real life along with a snippit of my new fiction project when I have the time. Good night (or good morning at this point) and I love you!
