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.
