Shakespeare said expectation is the cause of all heartbreak that’s just simply not true
There is no cause of heartbreak; it is truly unavoidable, expectations or not
Love will always be there and with love comes heartbreak, and with heartbreak there is a dragon slug
A dragon slug so beautiful in the eyes of everyone else, but to itself it’s just another slimy slug
The dragon slug will slowly make its way from your brain to your heart
And once it reaches its destination all cynicism is put behind you
Mountains turn to speed bumps, barricades to gates and walls to windows
While your head is in the clouds the dragon slug soars to bring you back down to earth
Keeping your body grounded but your hopes still high in the sky
Because your hopes of you too becoming a dragon slug in your dragon slug’s eyes are lofty at best
And isn’t it a shame, we spend so much time trying to become something we already are
Everyone is someone’s dragon slug
We are all just fooled by the reflection we see in the mirror every morning
We can’t help it, it’s in our nature I do it myself
I’m dorky, lame, a loser, scrawny, unfunny, a fool, not to mention I write poetry
And I am a dragon slug, slowly moving towards the person who thinks I am one
Someone who has the audacity to believe a slimy slug is one worth loving
Because there is no cause for heartbreak, but there’s a million and one reasons to love
All of which can be seen when you look in the mirror and see yourself for what you are
A Dragon Slug
