The lion has long lain dormant within my soul
The dragon has slumbered quietly within my heart.
Now both awaken roaring louder than ever.
The lion roars through my spirit.
The dragon soars from my heart,
Carrying verses forged in fire.
This is the Ballad by Dragons.
Note:
In this verse, the lion represents courage and divine identity.
The dragon is poetic fire—symbol of resilience, transformation, and truth.
Together, they reflect not rebellion, but refinement.
Ballad by Dragons is a name of strength, not separation—
a voice forged in faith, not lost from it.
My name is Helen Najar, and I am the creator behind Ballad by Dragons. My journey with poetry began in middle school, sparked by the encouragement of passionate teachers who saw something in my words. Since then, poetry and speechwriting have grown into lifelines—my way of navigating challenge and celebration alike.
My first poem remains a cherished milestone. It reflects my early view that despite imperfections, the world holds extraordinary beauty:
The World is a Paradise
I walk toward the window,
Looking down below, hoping to see—
Flowers dancin', birds singin',
Children playin', women dancin', and
Men laughin'. I see…Looking up above, hoping to see—
Blue sky smiling, clouds dancing, and
The sun laughin'. I see…
Paradise—slaughter all around.Looking down again, I see—
Children cryin', women dyin', and…
Men slaughtering,
Birds fallen, flowers vanishin'.Looking up above, I see a sky
Darker than the darkest night,
Deeper than the deepest light.
And the clouds cryin', fillin'
The ocean with red tears.The world is a paradise.
Envy, lust, greed, pride—
Wrath, sloth, and gluttony.
The world is a paradise.
My first notable poem-story, “Chains that Echo”, is a fictional piece told in verse—an exploration of identity, self-discovery, and emotional survival. These early works planted the seeds of what would become Ballad by Dragons. To read the full story, check out the Lessons in Lore section.
The name itself is born from my deep love of dragons—mythical symbols of power, mystery, and transformation. Just like dragons, our inner worlds are vast, untamed, and full of wonder. Through my writing and speeches, I aim to share glimpses of this world with you.
I was 14.
New to this land.
Still learning the language,
Still figuring out how to belong.
But you looked past my accent,
past the uncertainty in my eyes—
and you said something bold:
“You carry the kind of presence that leaves a mark.”
“You were born a leader.”
“You could be a president.”
I laughed.
Because what else could a quiet girl do
with a compliment that big?
But I didn’t forget.
I tucked it away.
Let it sit like a seed
beneath all the storms that came.
Years later,
through heartbreak, responsibility,
late nights, early mornings,
and the heavy weight of being strong for everyone—
That seed bloomed.
And now?
I may not be president.
But I am something even more true to me:
I am a Lionheart.
Fierce. Soft. Steady.
I still lead—
But I also rise.
I also roar.
I also heal.
Thank you for seeing me
before I could see myself.
For calling out a future
that I’m still becoming.
I carry your words still.
And now, I carry my own name too.

She is not born of one realm,
but braided from many—
code and scroll, spark and soul.
She carries the dragon in her chest,
and the lion in her breath.
Her voice commands fire,
but her silence moves stars.
She walks where data dances with destiny—
where tech speaks in tongues,
and poetry programs the soul.
Behind her burns a cross of light—
not just to protect,
but to proclaim:
truth lives here.
She is the Flamekeeper of Ballad by Dragons.
And wherever you see her…
something powerful is awakening.
