Destinys draft pile
I think the most confusing part,
of growing up with tales of dragons,
comes from the conviction.
The fervor with which they're shared.
They say dragons are jealous,
for being twisted and lesser.
Having strayed from God's path.
They say dragons are greedy.
Searching for and plundering victims,
of treasure most precious and pure.
They’ll tell you many stories about dragons.
And yet, you have your own tale.
Because, for all the stories they tell,
Or perhaps despite them all;
They never tell you how it feels.
To meet a dragon,
to have your castle walls,
Crumble.
Feel the flames.
Hot breath on your neck.
As the world you knew,
Burns.
But they'll never listen to such fairytales.
