Knight of Compassion

Take my hand

let me help you

I know your pain

I know that voice

the one that says

worthless

stupid

incompetent.

It is false.

It is vile.

It needs to be destroyed.

Insipid fool

hissed in your ear

demon on your shoulder

notion

half glimpsed

turn head

nothing there

grey gloom

surrounding.

Bleak

sun hidden

black fears

reaching out

anguished.

When does this end?

When does the beast die?

Take the hand I offer little one

wrapped in my arms

protection

Warrior Queen I be.

I will pierce the darkness.

I will be your shield.

I will be your sword.

I will be your champion

slaying demons

reminding you of your worth.
