Slew the Dragon

****7 days****

Tap tap tap

pencil on the table

used to focus my thoughts

words come with reluctance.

I do not want to share.

I do not want sympathy.

I do not want to see your face shutter

unable to comprehend

unable to understand.

I want you to hear

what was done

how I rose to overcome.

Darkness turned into light

tears into smiles

blackness pushed back

as I revel in my truth.

My life.

I dance with abandon

where once I would have been afraid.

Evil pervades

stalwart

inching forward

encroaching

blocking the sunlight

blocking the truth that should have been mine.

Have you ever seen a child

dance under the sky

face lifted

eyes closed

spinning around

certain the earth will catch them

as they fall?

Have you ever seen a child

cower in the corner

eyes turned

closed

not wanting to see

not wanting to feel

desperate to disappear?

Knock on the door

pry open the block in my mind

see the vile ink

pour free.

Monsters

big

small

consumed my heart

my soul.

Now though……

I am taking it back…..

Monster Slayer Supreme.
