Dragons

One thing that I often think of :

Dragons don't exist anymore. 

But I was born in the year of the Dragon

or so the Chinese claim.

I was supposed to be a lawyer, adept at critical thinking.

I was meant to be a powerful leader, fearless and without doubt.I was to be frugal with money, spending only on lavish wishes and desires.

But where are all the magical, shimmery adornments that seem to be missing?

I was supposed to be a lot of things,

but a dragon is not one of them.And I am suddenly disappointed at that thought.
