New Poem - "Chasing the Dragon"

Chasing the Dragon

i understand the term
“chasing the dragon”
because i’ve been there before

i understand the meaning
know too well the pain
of wanting ever more

but i’ve always wondered
about a dragon running from me
a dragon running?  why?

i laughed so hard i cried
when i realized he was frightened
by the crazed look in my eye
