Let's see, I have been writing poetry for the past two years, I just joined poemhunter, and I am already loving it. I love anything to do with dragons, the band Iron Maiden, fishing, anything outdoors, riding atv's Music, and I love to sing, and of course write poetry. I have a daughter that's 16, and I have been divorced twice. Still looking for that special someone though haven't given up hope. I'm in a wheelchair due to a car accident back in January 14,1991. It's been my daughter and my sister that have both keep me going and been an inspiration. I love my daughter and my family dearly. Thankfully they have always been there for me.)
Dragon's Skin
A Dragon's skin
is what I need,
to protect this frail heart
from people who say they love me.
A Dragon's strength,
to let go
and not look back.
A tough exterior,
that's hard to break through,
and the power
of the Dragon's heart.
To distinguish the truth
from those who are just fakes.
A Dragon's skin,
that looks fierce
on the outside.
But can also be
warm and loving,
and truly loyal.
A Dragon's skin
one that will
set me apart.
It will give
me the strength,
to be who I am.
Yes a Dragon's skin
is what I need.
So people will realize
that I'm tried and true,
and not just blowing smoke.
