Sly Serpent

Oh my

What a mistake I’ve made

I run and hide for cover

To shield me

From your venom

But to the illusory mind, even a stick can appear to be a serpent

Cowering with shame I await for you to strike

In anticipation I psych myself out and start exhibiting symptoms that were never there

How could your poison become mine

How could I inject myself with the venom that was never there?

The idea of administering small amounts to create an antidote sounds sound

But in this case I’m achieving the opposite effect

Distributing large amounts into my system, I become sickened

And that sickness spreads to others

Whether willingly or not

Who has the antidote?

Where I thought I was of no use before, I really am of no use to anyone, anymore.

Since I was in grade school I’ve loved to create. I wrote and illustrated whole worlds since I was able. When I was a little older I directed home movies with my friends. It’s safe to say I’ve always had a thing for the arts. It’s something that’s as much me as my physical makeup. This blog was a re-commitment to that self. Here I can be expressive, provocative, enlightening, whatever. I love to write.
