Analysis of Fear of the Dragon

Amber kowal 1981 (Indiana)



You slowly awake as the dream begins
No one can take away it's deadly sins
The life of fire that has heart beat
The death of its breath while u feel the heat
The fear of the dragon that's in your mind
You walk away,turn around and it's still right behind
The nigh nightmare is over and now you are awake
And all that you are left with is a fearful shake
You look in the dragon's eyes and scream for help
You realize the dragon was your shadow you feared yourself

Once discovering that everyone has fears we cannot our fears be feared and we cant give to much power to a fear or something that scares us or we become powerless. .
