I don’t want a prince charming.
I am not a princess.
I will not be set on a pedestal and protected from the
world.
I don’t want to be in a tower, watching the battle below.
I will be on the ground.
In the dirt.
Sweat and tears staining my face.
Side by side with my not-prince.
Wielding swords and blocking blows.
Battling the dragons together.
No tiaras, crowns or gilt.
No simpering, fawning fool.
No knight in shining armor.
Don’t blind me with your goodness.
I want dirty, dented, battered armor.
Bloody, beaten, bruised.
My armor is battered and beaten.
My life is written in every scratch and dent.
And I’m damn proud of the dents.
I need no one.
I will wait for no one.
I venture forward alone, surrounded my friends and family.
My journey goes forward, my adventure continues.
Who knows who I’ll find walking in the dust around the
next hill.
