A poem about the serpent within...
Well I know the pain
All too well now
I watched the walls
As they crumbled down

I hear the words
And I start to die
Revealing the way
As I try to cry

The Serpent is speaking
Telling me lies
Hissing I'm nothing
Never telling why

Saying it's my fault
That she is gone
Bleeding in my hole
Telling no one

Trying to breathe
Struggling to rise
Seeing the sun
Gazing at the skies

Pulling myself out
Everything's okay
Swearing to move on
As I walk away
