I walk among you a regular pony

But if you look closer you'll see I'm just a phony

Though I forgo the dragon way

Some urges are here to stay

Though I haven't been caught

Just the thought of eating gems leaves me quite distraught

What if someone were to see?

What would become of me?

If I had to explain what I truly am

And that the whole pony thing is just a sham

Would they still hold true to their definition of equality?

I study my true reflection in the mirror above my sink

Thanking Celestia that I'm no bigger than a lynx

My ruby scales shimmer in the overhead light

My claws and teeth enough to give someone a fright

Not that I'd ever use them against other living creatures

They're still among my most terrifying features

I unfold my wings a brief moment; stretching them out

Admiring the near translucent mesh layout

In between each finger

Trying my best not linger

Lest I receive an unexpected visitor

Like Derpy who loves to bust down my door

Assuming my pony form

I finish getting ready for the day

On schedule for today, a storm

And it's best not to delay

In any way
