Dragon

I never let anyone get to know the real me.

That would just be a tragedy!

How terribly awful I really am

Let's just keep pretending

My facade isn't a sham.

My beauty artfully holds

A red Dragon of the worst

Kind I'm told.

To unleash her fury on the world

Would be too unkind and cruel.

It would take a man with the strongest fortitude

To be able to grasp the Dragon with the attitude.

I want so much to be free of her,

The Demon has me until one can set me free.

I just don't see that happening

It's not likely.
