P/ Aurora’s Complaint

A little something that came to me. Inspiration struck just as I was supposed to be working…

He thought he was all that,

some kind of handsome bloke who’d win my favour

by swinging his sword around and giving me a kiss

to break my so-called ‘curse’.

Newsflash:

I was perfectly happy sleeping, thank you very much.

I didn’t need a knight in shining armour

to come hacking through vines

(which, I’ll have you know,

I’d spent a good deal of time cultivating)

in some misguided quest to ‘save’ me.

Damsel in distress? Bah!

I was capable to taking care of myself,

he just overreacted.

I was only taking a nap.
