The Silent Observer

I am the Silent Observer
The shadow that nobody sees
The snake in the grass that lies in wait
The hushed voice that plants the seed

I will lead you to think you are worthy
A gem that cannot be compared
I will raise you enough to achieve my goals
In the end leaving waste and despair

Opportunist,  a name I've been blessed with
Manipulation, a tool of the trade
Your misfortune,  a road I will claim as my own
As well as your will,  I'm afraid

For you see,  I'm your own human nature
The envy that you cannot control
The hunter that roams for advancement and gold
Yes,  I am the truth of your soul
