A Bastard Child, Given a Name

Rape stole my legitimacy
DNA was hidden away
And I was now a bastard
A child without a name
My path forward unknown
My being smudged by shame
I knew to bear my weapon
For my life was a war to wage
I needed to establish my honor
And who I am now
Is who I became
Was a knight alone
Without a lord
I was tested
I survived
And then message came
The bearer of my DNA
Called for reunion
My castle keep known
I was welcomed home
I was given back my name
