Deep in a cave
Darkness surrounding
Sitting in silence
Fulminating
Inner fire
Restrained, herbs burning
Thoughts of destruction
Overflowing
Ostracized and driven to hate
For choosing scale over skin
This rejection I cannot tolerate
From those I once called my kin
I’m your protector
Don’t you remember
My former glory
Not draconic
Years erased
The memory
Of sacrificing
My humanity
Ostracized and driven to hate
For choosing scale over skin
This rejection I cannot tolerate
Soon I shall surrender my soul
A lamenting growl pierces the night
Echoes of human cries trailing behind
The stoned dragon finally takes flight
Herb no longer soothing, he will hurt his kind
Soaring through the skies towards death’s embrace
Bringing with him all who owe him life
Inner flame unleashed, blazes rising, people dying
Final moments spent in pure terror, agonizing
Bittersweet revenge, was it worth it?
Tears now flowing, diving in a scream
Meant to be the last
Crying
For his failure
Hating
His weakness
Wishing
For the end to come
Crashing
To his death
