I AM (Dragon)

Brushed my teeth in kitchen sink

The only one there was

Bumped my head when I went to bed

All in someone else’s garden

Parents said no to questionnaire

Repeated again “we wish we were there”

Lies

Bullshit

You pretend to care

Sat in a swiss court again

Understand nothing but burned by his stare

I held it, reflected it and back to him

I AM a dragon, you are correct

Closed my eyes while the lawyers droned on

Legs shaking, eyes welling

Hot breath builds inside

Billows in my chest the pain is real

The floor will not open up and swallow me

My jaws split and roast the room

All of them, this is my liar, get out

Strong scales and very sharp claws

I fill the room, my head through the skylight

So hot with the room’s heat and mine

Look back down and they are big gray piles

Of ash…

I gleam with fire from my soul 

Scales are polished by the ash

I crush the courthouse godzilla style

My tail swings to destroy the rest

Fire cleanes and we can start anew

See my fire, mind my flame

I AM a dragon, hear me roar
