“Anika Kanosis”
Fury swells my veins
And fire erases my pain
My form changes before me
My eyes! I can’t see!
Then my back stretches and pulls
Feels like it’s been ripped by 1000 bulls
Unfurling out my delicate yet massive wings
I swear the pain is a dream
My hands twist; my arms now clawed
My body feels as if I’m mauled
But then it’s done and I look down
No longer human I make no sound
I study myself inside the lake
What of this should I make
A dragon stands where I once stood
I wish that I understood
Then I realize that dragon is me
That my soul is finally free
I let rip a burst of flame
Now life can’t be the same
