Dragon

 

How is it I can now eat whatever I wish
But I grew up starving
And pining and begging
Hand me down high waters
Cause I was too big for my age
too bright for my cage
My light shines on let them hate
my enemies begone!

Now I have become strong!
Too smart to figure out.
Too much clout.
Too many connections.
I will use these as my weapons!
Your oppression of me has ceased to be!
I can fly freely...

I have a confession.
How you did me wrong there is no question.
But if destroying me was your intention.
I must make a correction.
I AM STRONGER THAN I EVER WAS.
Just because.
So I thank you for trying to destroy me.
It helped me become the dragon I have grown
to be.

Affairs

  

Affairs of the heart are not so much about right or wrong, or black or white, but more so the shades of grey in between. To be measured by degrees of cruelty or difficulty. To be lauded for their happy times, grace, and care. To be lamented for their loss, lies, and snares...
