Den of Dragons

No I’m not

Something’s wrong

Dragons banging on their gongs

“Go to sleep

You’re awake

Drink the venom of the snake”

“Kill your mind

This your time

Your body is past its prime”

Broken here

Broken there

Disease seeping everywhere

“Here you lie

Go on, cry

I will never let you die”

“Hide your skin

Wrap your sin

You are in the Dragon’s den”

“Take your body

Burn your soul

We deem you a Fire Troll”

Mirrorman laughs

Someone gasps

Cannot see her through the glass

Feel my flesh

Start to rot

Never will you feel of soft

Reddened face

God’s disgrace

Metamorphosis takes place

Here I am

This is me

Deepening my voice still pleas

Ugly sow

Broken now

Hideous without a doubt

Dragons see not one thing wrong

Louder they slam on their gongs

This is who you are they say

Accept it or the price you’ll pay

Thrusting up my rock hard fists

Try to scream but I just hiss

Giant heavy arms of meat

Fat neck lowers in defeat

Claws the size of animals

To sleep I cannot be lulled

Ears swollen like newborn bats

Feet padded like iron mats

Even worse than twas before

Tortured by these open pores

Mirrorman looks just like me now

Forced I have been by his vows

Thanks the Dragons for their help

Then he chuckles as I yelp

Try to rip my face apart

But too strong is my beating heart

Falling deeper into hell

Misery of broken shells

This is my life, who I am

Fire Troll of burning land

Magma flowing through my blood

Hurts as much as something could

There is no more helping me

I only pretend to sleep
