wind-up dragon

wind-up dragon in my chest
Growling out scorching fire,
Blackening hope
Until, in panic, I can't breathe.

Your fingers crank the 
click-click-click
Of a little plastic motor
Fueled by the anger you unleash...

Until SNAP!
I'm no longer controlled.
The wind-up dragon:
A dusty relic of nightmares
I have conquered.
