Snakes

I see the snake upon my belly,
a monster brought it there.
He means to put it inside me,
to partner with me forever,
watching every move
reading every thought!
No he can not do that
freedom will be lost!
a scream of pain!
too much for an eight year old belly!
no get it out!
Pain!
"Never say NO!"
"You will now die!"
"You belong to satan"
"Now you are dead!"
"do not forget!"
See the snake everywhere?
wrist, hands and neck?
There is no escape!
