My Very Own Dragon

Folder: 
Before 2006

Home again

done slaying

all of my personal

dragons



no treasure to bring home

my eyes dark

my thoughts bleak

but my heart



my heart is soaring

I've killed all of them

the ones who used to

eat at my thoughts



now they say no more

to hurt me



they're all gone.



If they come back,

I'll know how to kill them



and they'll be gone again.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is about my issues with putting myself down. I imagine the battle as riding out bravely in my chainmail and with my sword and facing many dragons, with scales made hard, and breath made fierce by my own hurtful putdowns.  Posted:5/19/05
