The dragon in me
Controls my thoughts and deeds;
At times propelling me forward,
Other times holding me back.
The dragon in me
Is whispering softly,
Building my confidence,
Riling my doubt.
The dragon in me
Does no fire breathe;
He really doesn't breathe at all.
He's merely my ego,
And I the knight
Trying not to be burned.

This was written during an English class in which we were studying Joseph Campbell, in case the idea of the ego as a dragon seems familiar to any of you. ;)
