Dragon Rising

Need time to breath
Time to collect
Time to find my center again
Hate is a wasted emotion
Yet it is in me and needs to be controlled
You will not be my downfall
You will not be the reason I abandon all I believe in
All I strive to be from the inside out
Music blaring in my ears
Helping to calm the storm brewing
Calm, peace maybe even zen are in me
Even if I need to dig deeper than usual to reach it.
Like a dragon rising from the fires
I will come out of this stronger and more determined.
