🌑🐍 I AM THE SERPENT
by Shavon
You run from the dark but you carry the flame
You point at the serpent but whisper my name
You built up a war that was never real
You fight what you are, you deny what you feel
You’re a seed in the soil, covered in pain
A beautiful body buried in shame
But everything broken, everything torn
Is feeding the life that’s trying to be born
You call it sin… I call it ground
You call it lost… I call it found
You call it death… I call it change
You call it chaos… I call it range
I AM THE SERPENT
I AM THE LIGHT
I AM THE DARKNESS
YOU FEAR IN THE NIGHT
I AM THE WOUND
I AM THE HEALING
I AM THE TRUTH
YOU KEEP CONCEALING
NO WAR ABOVE
NO WAR BELOW
ONLY THE ONE
YOU’RE SCARED TO KNOW
I AM…
I AM…
You are the forest, you are the root
You are the hunger, you are the fruit
You are the poison, you are the cure
You are the question that isn’t sure
Swallow your pain, turn it to fire
Feed every fear to your own desire
Nothing is wasted, nothing is wrong
Even your weakness is making you strong
Face the shadow
Feel the bite
Turn the poison
Into light
Face the shadow
Feel the bite
Turn the poison
Into light
I AM THE SERPENT
I AM THE LIGHT
I AM THE DARKNESS
YOU FEAR IN THE NIGHT
I AM THE CHAOS
I AM THE FORM
I AM THE STILLNESS
INSIDE THE STORM
NO WAR ABOVE
NO WAR BELOW
ONLY THE ONE
YOU’RE SCARED TO KNOW
I AM…
I AM…
There is no enemy…
There is no war…
The battle you fight…
is inside your core…
You ran from the shadow
You called it your doom
But truth was waiting
inside the wound
TURN AROUND
LOOK IN ITS EYES
SEE THE LIGHT
IN DISGUISE
I AM THE SERPENT
I AM THE FLAME
I AM THE ONE
YOU TRIED TO BLAME
I AM THE FALL
I AM THE RISE
I AM THE TRUTH
BEHIND ALL LIES
NO WAR ABOVE
NO WAR BELOW
ONLY THE ONE
YOU’RE SCARED TO KNOW
I AM…
I AM…
Breathe it in…
The light…
The dark…
You were never divided…
The serpent is the light in the dark
