Damsel In Distress
Held captive by her agony
Her quill, the hero's sword
She writes like a damsel in distress
With freedom as her reward
Her knights in shining armor
Are the words that set her free
They surround her pain in one accord
To slay her misery
This dragon known as "Heartache"
Has left the poet maim
The words she writes will heal her soul
And extinguish the dragon's flame
The sword once more in the poet's hand
Gathers together her knights
Each hero lands a lethal blow
Whenever the poet writes
The poet lays her weapon down
Rescued from all her pain
The damsel closes her eyes to sleep
Her dragon finally slain
