She Saves Herself
the heroine is her own happy ending
a dream-like apparition
yielding a sword
materializes on a horse
arriving to save the day.
he is the knight in shining armor
of fairytale's past...
a young girl's heart
long ago palpitated
with anticipation and imagination.
she'd fall asleep believing
that one day he would find her,
that her future was dependent on
a storybook romance
with a happy ending.
little did she know that
she would grow to become
the exact opposite
of a distressed damsel needing rescue
and that standing alone
with strength, wisdom and
a heavy yet healing heart
would be a story that ended
with saving herself.
