SHADOWS AND SNAKES

I view the path ahead
It is not well lit
This does not matter
I am my own torch

I view the path ahead
It is not paved with gold
This does not matter
Pebbles will do me just as well

I view the path ahead
​​​I see shadows and snakes
This does not matter
Life has taught me well
 

I am a serpent too.
