Other animals bear not the burden of the snake

Rueful, seductive, deadly, and sly is the nature of its ways

Openly it attacks the bird and hidden does it bite the child

Children hear me when I say do not follow it to its den

Hateful is its bite that taken the life from your little ones

Icy are the glares from the blackest pits of its eyes

Merciless and unforgiving are the coils it bears

Anguish lives in the foot where a serpent's fangs have been

Restless are the feverish nights when blood mingles with snake venom

Unrevealing is its path and trail of victims.

Sarah E.

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
Every time you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place

Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
