Underneath

Underneath It All,  
I am a venomous snake -
With poison so deadly,
 Your life I shall take 
-messing with me will
 be your ultimate mistake! 
For the evils of this world
 your soul I shall sell - 
Underneath It All ,
 the world is a fiery Hell -
With more evil imagined 
More than I can tell !
We all live in some
 sort of lie -
 It seems being honest 
is too hard to try -
The end shall come 
and we will finally die !
Lies kill us inside and
 lies change who we are -
 If we aren't true to ourselves,
  we will never get far.
 Underneath It All ,
 everyone has lied -
 Underneath It All , 
there is nowhere to hide -
 When your soul is gone,
so is your pride !

The poem is awesome and shows the horrors of underneath, and completing it with fantastic metaphors!
