PAPER DRAGONS
Look. See.
I’m not a dragon.
Not even a paper one.
Feel me.
Touch me.
I’m soft eyes,
Soft skin,
Soft heart.
I have no scales,
Nor breath of flame.
My heat is internal.
It comes from the depths
Of my soul.
The only dragons
Are those you created
In your mind.
To kill them,
You didn’t have to
Slay me.
