Standing in the center of a huge crowd
The Dragon has never been more alone
These people look up to her, admire her
But not one understands the lone Dragon
On the inside, Dragon is struggling -
Even the very strongest will fall down
Sometimes even the bravest need to cry
No one is utterly unbreakable
She is the leader of these animals
At the top, she just has farther to fall
And she has no equal to steady her
To keep her from falling or breaking down
The problem with leadership is simple:
The poor Dragon has no one to follow
When she is hurting, lost or frightened
(Deep down, she's as scared as ev'ryone else)
The others follow her, depend on her
They trust her - how can she let them all down
The Dragon struggles with herself as well
Her pride won't let her admit she can't cope
She bravely decides to just keep going
And helps her followers when they need it
But the one who most needs a helping hand
Before her wings fail...
is Dragon herself.

After some Googling of typical Dragon traits, I came up with this - incorporating softheartedness with leadership and pride. The Dragon is also considered the leader of the Zodiac animals.
Disclaimer-type-thing: This is not a self-reference/self-insert, regardless of my dA nickname
This deviates from my usual poems (haikus). It's supposed to have 10 syllables per line, four lines per stanza.

Critique is always welcome - I'm not much of a poet, but I'd like to get better!

I could think of this as being a sorrowful choral (SATB arrangment) madrigal, probably written in respect to a Melodic Minor key.
