Dangerous dream


I am a dangerous dream 
Lure you in, distract you with my lies, grey 
Not as I seem, am i

My skin are scales
Cartilage willed rough and agreed to
Mirror no longer needed 
I know what I am

Dangerous dream 
Or something to take notice of
Silent request for rescue 
Or a lure to an unclimbable hole
Where I sit
Hello...are you coming for the ride?
