Snakes in Denim
by Star Henwood '25
Slithering with the most treacherous eyes.
Cursed to crawl filled with hate and envy.
Bitter to most, especially to I.
Forced to kill to feel, mind in a frenzy.
Act as a friend but speaks as if foe.
Your words are laced with disgusting venom.
You bring me death like the omen the crow.
You evil snake, hiding scales in denim.
Gleaming rhinestone eyes fueling the fire.
Mocking and rude you choke the dreams of your prey.
You miscalculated something so dire,
A mistake that will make you want to pray.
I am no mouse, I too ooze with venom.
We are both just snakes with scales in denim.
