Dragon master
ZachtereWereld.com
What if trauma
was a dragon
Every traumatic event,
a single beast
Some small,
some larger than life.
All different: sharp, vicious,
hard, demanding,
breathtaking, freezing,
scorching, overwhelming...
Some might be chased away
others keep coming back to bite
Their fire might forge you
an armour
but know, that armours weigh you down
You can try slaying them,
but you may end up
injuring the ones you love
Ignoring the screams
in your head
will not stop them
from wreaking havoc
You can hide safely
in your secret garden,
but that will get you nowhere
Accept that they may carry wisdom
from the lessons learned
So when their scales scrape you
and remind you of your scars
...
be gentle with yourself!
Mastering dragons
takes skills, energy and focus
and it is no small task
to keep them
from sneaking up on you
As you walk your path
with this herd in your wake
keep your eyes
on what really matters!
And who knows:
if you conquer them long enough
they might get worn out
and choose to stay behind
