A Snake's Tail

Has touched my toes
left a mark
that remains paining
a poisoned spot
that bleeds ceaselessly
and has almost finished my blood
I am weak
I fail to walk
it pains deep inside my heart
I am hurt
I thought the snake's tail was friendly
but now I know
that dangerous is such a creature
that smiles at daylight
and angers at night
indeed
a false face
with a scary mask.
