Slay The Dragon

Submitted by Lavender on Tue, 2024-05-21 14:02

Slay the dragon.
Plunge your courage through his heart
then kick his ass out the door.
Drench those deviled doubts,
those hellish hesitations.
Saturate him in fire, rally
as he burns, shrivels, and shrinks.
Douse his cold, harsh remains in spittle
then sweep his putrid ashes
to the lowest level of apathy -
acknowledging that you are fearless.

You are The King, The Queen, The Knight.

The Ultimate Dragon-Slayer.

Hello dear Lavender
Great to read you again! You are definitely for it. I believe you're strong enough to conquer any difficulties.
The imagery and the language is superior that I gained at least a couple of words and I am grateful for this
Thank you for sharing dear.

Not sure why I fell so hard under the nasty spell of anxiety with this move, but I sure did! My brain is just fried! :) But, hopefully within the next few weeks, I'll settle into a routine and reclaim some peace of mind. Thank you for reading and your appreciated support!
Take good care, My Friend!
