I am a snake.
People run away when they see me,
Scared of my venomous bite.
They see me slither and squirm
And assume it's them I want.
My fangs out and ready,
I'm disturbing their peace.
But it's my home they're in!
My house they're disturbing!
But they still scream and shout,
They question my existence...
They don't want me near.
They want me away.
Sticks and stones,
I have no bones
But their hatred burns me.
If you're going to take my home,
At least leave me alone.
But it's no use.
I sink my teeth into their skin
Inject them with my poison.
Now, no longer am I weak
But then I'm stepped on by a person.
