Wielding a Sword of Words

The god damn reality dragon is back

Planning his next diagonal attack

On my fantasy, about to feast

Burning up the fun with the fire that he'll breathe

Leaving only steam and a broken dream

Sadly, every thing is exactly as it seems

I could not stop him with the swords of words I wield

Should I not have discarded my armor and shield?

Although I loved that I was freed from their weight

That freedom left me in a quite vulnerable state

Some might see me sinking in this sand of sin again

Feet buried in a fight they think that I cannot win

I am certain that I am not mistaken

In my conviction, I remain, unshaken

Even though I've been more than thrice defeated

Now on my knees beaten with eternal bleeding

Coughing up confessions to the burned

Professing that my lessons go unlearned

But best you bet I will go down in THESE FLAMES

Knowing that it is love that I obeyed

Even if the dragon remains unslain
