Like a snake,
Pain shows
its gross head

Scared out of my wits,
I run far fast

Yet it grabs hold of me tight
and
bites me hard

Lone me hurt,
I fall to this deep dark hole

No one to hear my screams
No one to help me

Wow, one syllable, that is very cool.  Great poem, although I'd like to get you a demoral.  If this was your pain, I hope it's been relieved.  Best wishes.

Kaile--I like this much---I consider symbolism of snake as interpretation of WISDOM---(consider the caduceus--symbol of the medical profession--two serpents entertwined--"with all your wisdom, get understanding"--upon the staff of mercury--messenger of the gods...)

very nice, very deep, I applaud you and curtsey...

Hope you didn't have too rough a period of time... Hope also that this is only reflection, rather than experience...
