I waited for the Knight in Shining Armor,
To protect me from the vultures that circled me,
To lift me out of the social quagmires,
To show me the lovely side of the world,
To water the plants in my garden,
To deal with the gnawing anxiety that had crept into me.

I waited for the knight in shining armour,
To deal with the tantrums that were hurled at me,
To become the guiding light of mine,
To lead me out of the dark cave,
To be my pole star in the forest,
To fight for me with the rest of the world.

I waited for the knight in shining armour,
To draw me near to his heart,
To demonstrate the existence of humanity,
To shout my name with affection,
To untie my tangled wings and allow me to fly,
To tear down the barriers of misogyny.

I waited for the knight in shining armour,
To take me out of the abyss,
To clear the thorns off my path,
To halt the flow of blood from my wounded wrist,
To make the world believe in me,
To rid my mind of devils.

But,
my knight in shining armour never showed up.
He never appeared, even from a distance,
The hapless dude was lost somewhere,
I couldn’t find his gleaming armour anywhere,
Oh! What a tragedy that struck me.

I stood on the edge and yelled,
but there was no response.
Where has your knight in shining armour vanished to?
My heart moaned with sorrow.
My hopes were crushed by the sorrow that enveloped me.
One by one, like glasses, they dropped from the hutch.

I woke up in the middle of the night.
When I looked in the mirror,
I could definitely see my knight in shining armour,
with those courageous eyes staring back at me.
The knight’s armour shone brightly.

The wait for the knight in shining armour was over,
My saviour had finally arrived,
My heart danced with joy,
And sang the songs of love,
The knight also danced and sang with me.

But then I took a closer look at my knight,
My heart raced a little faster,
When I noticed the knight resembled me,
The knight stood inside the mirror,
With the fire beaming through his eyes.

I closed my eyes and opened,
The knight was still standing in the mirror,
Imitating my every action,
And then I realized,
I am my knight in shining armour.

My wait was over when I discovered,
I am my knight in shining armour,
No one is coming to save me,
I am the one who will save myself,
And I became my knight in shining armour.
