Sword in the Stone

The sword in the stone, resting on the hill
Many try to pull it out, but few can
Pulled out, a legend is told of the man
For it was a prophecy, now fulfilled

I wrap my hand around its leather hilt
The weight from its past wielders, I shoulder
What if I end up as its beholder?
What if I’m not enough? I feel the guilt

I pull it, and it comes out of the stone
A sign of hidden strength I’d never known

I hold it up, it glistens in the light
Something inside tells me I can do this
I feel the soft touch of hope’s gentle kiss
I know that I can win all of my fights

My favorite of yours! Completely different from the rest, I also love other cultures, especially britain culture with king author! Amazing poem!

It's narrative element is what pulls me in. The transition from doubt to confidence is admiration(´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `)♡
