You believe you are not seen.
A charming smile, a gentle demeanor.
People see you as a saint.
 
They do not see what the true self is.
What this all-seeing eye can see.
The true face under your dark.
 
Your deception is well rehearsed,
years of practicing on the people.
They cannot see what the truth is.
 
This snake, you do not know,
is able to feel your deceitful aura.
It radiates from your skin.
 
You will be discovered in time.
Until that day know
I feel the person you truly are.
This snake sees all.

​Attempting to put pen to paper.
Not sure why but not feeling
the inspiration to create today.
 
Maybe it is the weather outside.
It is grey in the sky,
rain is hitting the ground.
making beautiful, while snow
turning into a soggy mess.
 
Could be the busy days
that have been pulling me
from here to there
and everywhere in between.
 
The words get jumbled in my head,
thoughts are not close to being straight.
It effects all the mind and body.
I know there are days like this.
The inner fight is the challenge.
Accepting these feelings are natural,
to be not inspired with my world today.
