Dragons Within Me

Goodness is innate. However, we must fight to keep it alive.

'Tis morn, I have risen


I prepare to don my armor


Mount my nimble steed


Remove my sword of battle


From the scabbard of truth


'Tis the sword of freedom


Blade with keener edge


Is not to be found


I will wield it in my quest


To slay another fiery dragon


In the battle for moral purity


Formidable foe are they


Those that dwell within


The darkest regions


Of the mortal mind


Disguised though they may be


Hatred, lust, greed and discrimination


Fire breathing dragons


Their onslaught, relentless


I must ensure their defeat


To permit the innate goodness


The purity within me


To be free of these ravaging foe


Then will I be enriched


By the warm light of goodness

This is a gem, Jon. A shame it only has a few reviews.

I strongly feel that we might as well be dead if we don't strive to improve ourselves. That first glance in the mirror is the hardest. I feel like you've captured that growing experience here, and all the interior demons we possess. Write what's in you to write:)

Wow! You face the darksome beast with courage and show how light will always overcome dark when you know the truth that sets us free!
Excellent Poem!
