Dragon

2016

And you thought dragons didn't exist.

Yet, here I sit.

Directly in front of you.

Teeth barred and 

Claws ready

To rip the screams right from your throat.

You shouldn't be surprised, really

I can't imagine why you would be.

After all, you always knew I was a 

Monster,

You dreamed me one yourself;

In fact

And the name sticks with me now-

Years later.

You gave me an identity

I couldn't shake-

-Even if I wanted to.

I never wanted to.

Dragon breath and talons

Protect me; Always have.

Bitter words and dark hatred

Have fed my soul for so long

How could I be anything less

Than what I've always been?
