Dragon Breath

All the men who took from me,
Who preyed upon my
Vulnerability,
Who stripped away my dignity,
I found them in their dreams and cut them
Down in the way they 
Cut me.
I rise up in a fury breathing an angry, 
Bright fire, 
Shrieking like a banshee as the flames escape 
My mouth. 
I am the monster now.
Because no one ever 
Bothers to learn the
Origins of villains, I won’t divulge the details of my own
History.
There isn’t time and 
My heart is hungry 
For revenge.

A can feel the hrt and anger in your verse, Catelyn. We all have moments from our past that we wish hadn't happened but sometimes you need to just let it go and move on. The heart needs to love and be loved.
