Snake

By Bluegirl

Keep lying to yourself
Keep telling yourself that you are the victim
Justify your deceit
Ignore anyone who tells you the truth
Surround yourself with support
Did I say support?
I meant more lies.
Don't take a moment to realize what you did
Don't think about how the other side feels
Keep inventing
Stay creative
It's the only way you can keep this up
The only way to avoid the truth
You are what you are
And YOU are
The snake
