The heart of a dragon
bares many scars
from a soul filled with conflict,
and a life filled with war
if you claim to have seen one
you'd be labeled a fool
to see them in their glory
is incomprehensible for you
their piercing gaze alone
would freeze you in fear
their strength is limitless,
a trait to be revered
they can circle the world,
they can soar to the stars,
they could render you speechless
with the stories behind their scars
they could show you a world
you could never comprehend
show you the purest heart,
be your dearest friend
show them respect and compassion
of the simplest kind
and they'll protect you with their life
til the end of time
they can turn from day to night
in the blink of an eye
show you rage and destruction
of the worst kind
they can be your friend or foe,
a fiercer enemy you'll never find
it may shock you to know
their true nature is kind
they will never be caged
their spirit is free
a tamed dragons heart
you will never see
for all that you've said of them
all the lies you have spoken
survival has strengthened them
their spirit will never be broken
they can destroy your world
with a single breath
causing chaos and destruction
and endless death
in the end it will be them
still standing tall
all that you have known
will crumble and fall
a creature said to be a myth,
a folklore from the start,
few have met those rare souls
born with a dragons heart.
