Makeshift

A flick of fire in the eyes
Of a figure broken in to two sides.
 
Pieces scattered all around,
From when he shattered on the ground.
 
Punctured by shards of his own,
The wicked side stabs the 'lone.
 
From these pieces I shall make
A man greater than his fate.
Forge them in his own fire,
Breathes of the dragon's tongue,
Burning the soul of which, he is from.
 
Once divided, before then whole,
This makeshift man shall walk again.

This is a old poem of mine, early college years if I had to guess.

I have been writing poetry for the last 13 years. It all started as an assignment for a creative writing course. I never thought I would like writing, as I am dyslexic and language was always a struggle for me, but I fell in love with the art form in that class.
