There were dragons in her chest
They pounded against her ribcage
They snapped at her neck
She shook as their heated breath
Caused her blood red blush
And her body flush
How could she
How would she
Stand tall and brave
When she was a dragon's cave?
She couldn't make the dragons leave
No matter if she pleaded or seethed
Dragons kept her awake at night
Hours and hours of endless flight
They whispered her own sorrows
Her worries of what comes tomorrow
They reminded her of things she had done
They told her of things she knew must do
Even if she didn't want to
How is she going to keep herself light?
When dragons plague her day and night?
