My Own Personal Dragon
by
Sherene Delgado
The protective dragon that surrounds my heart
The fiery flame it wields to ward off those who challenge it
Yet at the same time keeping the heart within cold to the touch
My poor helpful friend does what he does out of love for me
To protect me from the cruel world surrounding us both
His strength and courage helps him face the world
His kindness tells him to share the wisdom with me
Yet he never realizes the damage he does to me
He could not understand how much I hurt
He lives for me
I live through him
I watch as he hides the world from me
And though his intentions are pure
I still cry silently for the world I will never know
