Castle, complete with moat and dragons.

Never you mind the walls you see
I built them just for show
If one would only test the strength
"the real" would overflow
Why not be honest--say upfront
or wear it on my chest?
"The real" is not for show and tell
not ready for trials and tests.
(Plus no one's ever guessed.)

I'm not really lying anyway
I'm somewhere between the truth.
Its not that I'm impossible
maybe its just not you.
You're not the knight you claimed to be
and I dont need a savior.
Dont think for a moment
you've figured me out
this is purposeful behavior.

"The real" is something only seen
behind my smile, thru my eyes,
Down the hall, 2 dragons, 3 walls
past the pile of little white lies....

They're Harmless though! I promise.
Once thru the gate "The real" is still unseen.
Oh well, even if anyone gets that far -
I've lost the only key.
