Like a Snake

Every time I hear you talk. It's like venom From a snake. Wrapping it's body around me And suffocating me. Trying to take all The air from my lungs Making it where I'm in complete darkness And there's no light There's no sound But your hateful venomous voice. Tearing me down for Who I am. And what I've become. Making it where I Have never a voice To stand up for myself. Your the poison That makes me sick. To where I can't even look at you Without wanting to vomit. So I stay away Wanting nothing to Do with you Or your toxic ways.
