Speech

Serpent tongue, fierce and strong,
Look around they’re everywhere.
Spitting acid, burning long,
Flaying bare, the open wounds,
The scars so ugly there.
Who will care to look upon me?

Serpent tongue, swift with poison,
Spreading here and everywhere.
In thy path darkness follows,
Screeching and whining
for your venom to work.
The colors of me so dark and drab,
Who will care to look upon me?

Serpent tongue, disguised in beauty,
Tearing away, just at any place.
Your fading glow betrays your visage,
Showing Hell for what it is.
Giving Hell, so sameness can be.
So, who will care to look upon me?

Serpent tongue, vile with lies
The Lord gave the truth,
and in weakness you run.
He gives courage and grace
I spoke the Lord’s love aloud.
Yes, hell, the fates, yourself and the shame,
Consume till you exist no more.
freeing me, to be me.

Serpent tongue, empty shell,
Desolate being, never caring,
Shifting sands cover quickly.
Who will care to look for you?
