As I fall asleep
I hear the snakes hissing under my bed
I discovered them when I was a little girl
the first time one crawled up under my skirt
they left marks all over my body
scars I can't remove
I still find myself scrubbing so hard
trying to remove their mark
I still dream that they are all over me
I can't make them go away
