Knights in Shining Armor

Dear Knights:

Where are you?  I understand why you've hidden away.  We maidens in distress, we have ridiculed and scoffed at you, not believed in you, and even turned you away.  In trying to prove ourselves, we have told you we don't need your help.  When you offer your assistance, we say we are strong enough and don't need your help.  We have grown blind, trying to strengthen ourselves against the foes that attack us and no longer recognize you as a friend.  We confuse you with others, saying you are all the same.

I know you are not.  I know that you are out there, waiting for a call of distress.  I understand that when you hold open the door and carry the heavy load, you are not saying you think we are weak, but that you want to help.  Inside, we are all dying for someone to save us, sometimes from ourselves.  We just want a noble, respectable gentleman to love us forever.  Other less noble men have tricked us into believing you don't exist, that there is a price we must pay for a little love.  Please come out of hiding, show us that you want to love us just because you love us, not as part of an evil scheme.  We are waiting, just as you are!

Sincerely,

Lady in Distress
