Dragon
Dragon- A fine line between love and hate She creates her own fate Won’t let him hurt her Hell breathing creature Plays by his own rules Justifying behavior His immaturity becomes her savior His demons are toxic Bad for all-females nature Snake with wings She’s played with fire before Time to even up the score Wicked games he plays Toying with her emotions Played her for a fool Knowing her past it seems so cruel Her burn is only surface deep The male ego makes him look weak Best not to speak He's interested in the masses Engrossed by female attention Prefers the demoralizing superficial Breaking chains is her way out Embraces safe distance Jealousy won’t get the best of her He’s not who she thought he was Lacks emotional capacity Fell off her pedestal without regard His love was an illusion Disappointed by his reflection Thankful for clarification Distasteful decisions Actions come with a cost Lost motivation to please him Her passions no longer sacrificed She wanted his respect But he can’t keep himself in check She’s dressed in armor Head held high Her crown of jewels intact Sword in hand Cuts out his tongue Shields his empty words Her integrity is impeccable Takes the path of least resistance Finding a balance of head and heart Abundant love surrounds her Bruised spirit to heal Nirvana awaits her Chariot’s in motion The future is clearer Standing her ground She’s gaining perspective Enjoying the present Divinity protects her She’s pure strength Eff em’ all so to speak She’ll write her own happily ever after
