work in progress

I once had a great friend who was excellent at writting poems---he wrote one about a knight who would do anything for the princess. When he started to have some serious problems in his life come to light, I wrote this as a response.









The Lonely Knight

A knight stood so strong, brave and true.
If any dragons came he knew actually what to do.

He had won the heart of a fair maiden, and she worked by his side,
But he would never tell the deepest of what he had to hide.

He had a dragon that came to him years before.
This dragon was fierce, horrible, and so much more.

The knight felt hopeless, fearless, and weak,
Whenever they had to fight, the dragon would not be beat.

After years of the terrible secret dragon the knight let go on his pride,
And knew facing the dragon was his journey alone to ride.

Knowing this time his victory will be known,
He faces the dragon, with better weapons, yet still alone.

While the knight feels defeated and sometimes is,
The battle against the dragon isn’t over until the victory is his.

He needs to defeat this dragon until it is no more;
if he does not win, he will be ruined, even down to his core.
