Stop it

Stop that hiss I hear

You aren't a snake.

Stop it

Stop sticking out your tongue

At me

At what I do

You aren't a snake.

Stop it

Stop poking your nose

Sniffing out my blood

Sniffing out my deeds

You aren't a snake.

Stop it

Stop breathing down my neck

The air you release

Dripping with venom

Of malice and jealousy

You aren't a snake.

You will never succeed

Trying to get on to me

Cutting your fangs

Into my veins

Contaminating me

With you

I can't see that happening

Anytime

In future.

You aren't a snake.

Are you?
