dragonfight - a poem by cloudz poems
they think i’m selfish
well, that’s funny.
they never had to fight dragons
no one saw,
no one felt,
because they lived inside your head.
trapped in your own mind,
you start to wonder
if the only way out
is silence.
but then they call that selfish,
cruel, unfair —
so you keep breathing,
keep trying.
but man, i’m out of energy.
that dragon’s never stopping,
and no one knows,
because no one feels
that i am the dragon.
but that doesn’t mean
i can control him.
he belongs to me,
but he broke free long ago.
he never left —
he stayed,
and started fighting back.
he doesn’t stop,
but neither can i.
if i destroy him,
i destroy myself.
if i let him win,
i lose again.
two ways,
one fight.
i don’t know how long,
but i’m still here,
still fighting.
