To be a snake

Or to be a dragon

That is the question

Two kinds of darkness

Two different paths

A choice to make

M

What of the snake

The options are clear

To fail is to die

To succeed is to live

Striving to be the best

With no one above

M

What of the dragon

Options become less clear

Exploits to control

Potent words having effect

World shattering events

A choice to change

M

What of the snake

Self motivation is key

There is no team

There is only I

Life is being alone

Having nobodies problems

M

What of the dragon

Moving among them

Controlling their paths

Adjusting destiny

Changing the dance

Belonging somewhere

M

What of the snake

Mistakes never made

To be above all

That is destiny

Security is never lost

That is life complete

M

What of the dragon

Out of grace falling

But constantly uprising

To be fulfilled are dreams

of hope and desires

Though dark they may be

M

What of the snake

Jealous of others

Wanting to seize

There is now ours

Thieving at times

Coniving at times

M

What of the dragon

Ours is to protect

To keep from harm

To never forget

Seizing back

Rarely sharing

M

What of the snake

Blood runs cold

Not an ounce of heat

Not a care at all

Self is life abound

Self prevails over all

M

What of the dragon

Blood too runs cold

But a heart of fire

Just rarely not seen

True self is hidden

There is no one to trust

M

What of the snake

Evil to the end

Darkness is the core

No light comes forth

Pain caries forth

With each poisonous bite

M

What of the dragon

Darkness surrounding

Prevailing in course

Until decision is made

Light then let in

The pain destroyed

M

A choice to make

Two different paths

Two kinds of darkness

That is the question

To be a snake
