What is An Angry Dragon?
Some of the greatest heroes of our time will remain unknown to the majority, but still, they are fully known by God. These survivors show us the enduring and awe-inspiring substance from that which miracles are made. They are the warriors who battle the daily devastation and relentless pain of a seething, Angry Dragon- which is that of Depression, Anxiety, and/or PTSD.
Hero- Mariah Carey
Warrior
Oh, Warrior!
You have roamed
many unknown lands,
enduring struggles wide
and unfathomably deep;
A mystery, the many
wanderings of your
tiresome sojourn,
and the lost,
lonely nights,
in which you so weep.
Painful Pestilence
Painful pestilence
and nightmarish darkness,
the angry dragon
breathes upon
your every burdened step;
Its unpredictable torment
of angst and doom,
relentlessly
attempts
to render your spirit
into irreversible debt.
Waging War
I have seen,
and I have heard,
your anguished pleas,
begging for
needed relief;
But mercilessly,
the angry dragon
continues to wage its war,
in hopes to only
further deepen
your somber grief.
My Hero
But alas,
I know my hero!
Unique and valiant,
you inevitably rise up
to the occasion!
You, a noble,
and strong-hearted
opponent,
frequently carry out
your own
resuscitation!
A Survivor
Resourceful,
and courageous,
you are a survivor,
and take firm grip
of your foundation!
Thus, yeilding not
to the angry dragon,
you hijack its mission,
for now,
and halt its devastating
manifestation!

AUTHORYes, indeed, Dream On; Christmas can continue long after the holiday is actually over. Jesus is always alive in our hearts!
I am so sorry about your cousin. Addictions are terrible situations in life. It seems that the addiction takes hold of the victim, and takes on a life of its own, and keeps the person in its control. It’s agonizing to witness a loved one in such a situation.
Yes, faithful prayer is needed for this situation as there is not a lot more that one can do for someone with an addiction, without enabling them.
Again, I am deeply sorry.
Yes, prayer thru Jesus’ Name!

Christmas can continue long after the day is over. In your heart you keep that unbelievable, vibrant spirit alive and well. Your words excite the numb, worn out, beaten down people who go through the motions of life. I have a cousin I am very worried about. He dealt with drugs in the past and now his life is a roller coaster ride that goes from bad to worse. All I can do is pray he will do what is right. He lives out of state. He doesn't return any of my phone calls. I keep on texting him hoping he will come around. Thank you for sharing. As always take care and keep writing.
