Éowyn

My city had been emptied

Of all the men

By royal decree

And now I must rule my fair country

While they're all off at war

They've left me here alone

Plagued by my discord

I wanted to follow

To go and fight with them

But they laughed at my antics

And precluded me to come

They're men though

They think a woman should be at home

But I can fight

Just as well as any of them

For I am a Shield Maiden of Rohan

They're gone to the legendary citadel

That is Helm's Deep

So durable yet so weak

I have to wonder

If it's crumbled yet

And left to nothing but rubble

I know not how long the battle will last

But I keep constant vigil

Awaiting their return

But not only for my uncle

Theoden, King of Rohan

And my brother Eomer,

Third Marshal of the Mark

But for the Lord Aragorn as well

Son of Arathorn and Isildur's heir

The heir to the throne of Gondor

I avow that I'm in love with him

Though his heart belongs to another

But I venerate him also

For he is so brave and so gallant

But once they return

I have my own plan

I know that there will be more battles

So I shall travel with them Incognito

Dressed as a man

And fight alongside them all gingerly

But as I sit here

And watch in detriment my city

I wonder if I'd gone to fight

If I would only slow them down

And only be naught but a laggard woman to them

Veering them off course

They'd taunt me with churlish banter

But they know that I could probably

Just wrangle with them to their death

For I am Éowyn

Shield Maiden of Rohan

In the House of Eorl

Daughter of kings

Never to revert

Back to the ways of other women

A/Ns: I had to write this for and English thing. Thus all the random vocab words. I used Eowyn just because I needed an idea ands well yeah. LOTR isn't mine. So yeah.
