The serpent speaks words which are undeserving fables of hurtful intentions raging within her I took a deep breath in an instead of a push back, my kindness was sweetness aching her teeth Her sugar rush of confusion relayed a headache and her fangs and her poison took a step back I gleamed with a smile of trust and amazement As pure kindness does **** an old heated heart I can't blame her or shun her for her bitter ways I can only lead in example in style with grace Because a serpent is tantrum of an entitled stranger Or maybe a wounded solider battling herself yet to heal from a dysfunctional heart And I am a lady regardless of such things I've done in my past or can't admit to the world A master of disguise with innocence behind me A pyramid that stands after storms and abuse I've known no avalanche to strike or defeat me Only negatives that lingered to help me develop I've known no artist to win in an instance Or a luck so clever to keep running back to I've only known that terror and darkness and hatred are cured by the kindness from the wise ones And coincidence is more than some kind of echo It is purpose we seek and sometimes we question But the truth is our purpose is to blossom like wildflowers And even flowers need help from rain drops to flourish And sunshine to liven that inconsistent rain So be the sunshine or you might end u a serpent Praying on kindness only to **** you in the end
