slither

 
I could get a blade to cut you out with
diseased reptile of the mind
slithering around in my flower bed
like you belong there

but that would waste too much time
when I can kill bare knuckled
take you out with one hit

why bother telling you
I'm tired of hearing you spit shit
i'll silently do what I do
while you slither off talking mad bull

so wracked up on the inside
you're foaming at the mouth
you think you know me but you don't

I'm unlike any you've seen before
the lake's ripples on the surface
indicate the movement not the direction
you won't see me coming

save yourself the shame
I don't want to take you down publicly
smear what's left of your confidence
on your see through bravado

so leave me to my own
this is no shaken reply
or fear provoked threat
this is me laying it out truthfully

you feel me yet?
