The mindset of one woman

The mindset of one woman

A Poem by WhiteCanarie

Princesses need knights in shining armor.
They need a prince charming,
Someone to sweep them off their feet,
and into the security of loving arms.
I'm not a princess. 
I have the mind of a Queen,
the heart of a King,
the courage and strength of a Knight,
the wisdom of an Elder,
And tenacity of a Peasant. 
I don't need a man to sweep me off my feet,
I don't need loving arms to be secure.
I don't need to be saved,
And I don't need help.
I can think for myself,
fight for myself,
defend myself,
and rule myself.

Greetings The White Canary.

I must say, it's a pleasure to read the words of one who values individualism, yet I could go further and state how it's beyond a pleasure to read the words of one who prizes and understands their own individual being, its power, and the superlative nature of the self as compared to the mass social structure that exists ubiquitously around us.

I have found that the majority of people on this site express their love for others; perhaps this reinforces my claim of this "mass social structure", perhaps it doesn't, either way it's magnificent to come across an individual in complete comprehension of their own importance.

As I feel like suggesting to most people - and actually, I did say so in a review this morning - that to understand anything at all, one must first understand one's own being. The precise words I used in the other review I did are as follows: 'One cannot begin to correctly understanding anything at all if one does not understand oneself - a simply metaphor which elucidates this point: how can one exist if one does not sustain one's ability to do so? No nourishment leads to death; the realm of nothingness. Therefore, to support oneself means one can then support others...' I could have continued this explanation, but as of yet I'm unsure whether I was reviewing a works of fiction or non-fiction.

I wish to read more from your head, because, as I said, I need more contemplations from a mind who understands their own being and worth. If you have any stories that would be great, because - and as a further compliment I suppose - I'm not fond of poetry (the compliment lying in the fact I actually felt an impulse to review yours here,) thus would much prefer a story to read.

Please, keep these thoughts coming, it's hard to find others who think on a similar wavelength.

Ta ta.

Short but powerful piece here. You are right. Some people need others in order to be strong. But you are a different person. You can stand on your own and fight your own battle. You are independent.

You are lucky having such strength.
Thank for sharing this meaningful piece.

I really enjoyed reading this. It's a great way to think and a great way to express your independence. I really like how you said the tenacity of a peasant. That was like wow. Awesome xD
good job.
