Dragons That Follow
fire breathing dragons
from my past
linger in the corridors
of my mind
and have followed me into
today
oh ... they haunt my
present
destroying my happiness
and I refuse to be attacked
for a moment longer
I need a mighty warrior
like Legros or Aragon
from the Fellowship of the Ring
or Achilles the warrior
to put a dagger
through their heart
but these warriors are only in books ...
so I must be
the warrior in my mind
I must find the courage
the strength and anger
to not just push
them back ... but to end them
I will let these dragons
know that they have no
place
in my life !
