I have completely been defeated!
I have survived a lot
I have never swam in the dirty waters found in the grimy gutters as I continue to crawl beside the road
I lick my wounds and I hang my head down low from the vicious attacks and heavy blows
I defeated the wolves and battled my demons but could not escape the venom of the poisonous snake
I can hear the scream of the war cry deep within my soul I remind myself you were a warrior once and you will be a warrior once more

Under Purple Clouds
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. All the fireflies have disappeared, because once every decade the fire breathing dragons celebrate their new era as a new baby dragon enters the world and begins its life. The dragon family who welcomes this new sacred life into their family gets to rule the dragon world until the next baby dragon is born. Because there are so many dragons at the age to give birth there had been an order that was established centuries ago to determine who would be in line next to gain the seat of royalty.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
