Damsel

she was sold

for gold

a daughter of duty

she obeyed the command

to marry a prince

in a faraway land

she’d made up her mind

to sacrifice herself

for the sake of her family

but had no idea

what was about to happen to her

she’s thrown into circumstances

way beyond anything

she could have ever imagined

the shock alone should have killed her

in deep despair

she finds herself

completely and utterly alone

there is no prince

coming to save her

her beauty is of no consequence

in this depth

she has to master her mind

and find the things within

that are essential

to survival

she could not change

being abandoned

but she could change

abandoning herself
