"Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,

There was never a room in my mind, only wings

I never had time for china things

They get knocked over with tails and horns

But it's worth it since they keep me warm

 

When I first retreated all was blank and bare

Until winged creatures came in from somewhere

Entering unbidden may seem bold

But it's worth it since they all were cold

 

When one of them disappeared somewhere, someway

We all considered it our saddest day

I'd never met him, still I was consoled

It was nice to have someone to hold

 

I loved them always, they know I still do

There are so many now I don't know who is who

The ancients were wrong, they're not shadows at all

Without dragons I think I would fall

 

I live in a world of dragons, you see

And when I go traveling, they come with me

I'll always be weeping when their saga ends

Because all of them were my friends.

I have a lot of thoughts. It's fun to personify them. Also I really love dragons.
