The snake is cold-blooded.
It's dangerous to humans.
This is quite scary.
Neither do you nor your deeds.
Exactly like a snake,
You are frigid toward me.
I feel like I'm in danger around you.
I want to be close to you.
But you are cold to me.
I am terrified of your deeds.
I'm afraid of the way you talk and holler at me.
The way you pushed me around
I feel threatened.
The way you look at me,
It's as if the snake is ready to bite me.
My heart isn't at ease around you.
I feel as if I am in peril.
I feel safe when I am away from you.

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.

Powerful last line! Some people are as sneaky and devious as snakes.
Very scary.
Keep up the good work.
You have beautifully captured the deeply moving exploration of the chilling, serpentine nature of emotional abuse... The lines... Exactly like a snake, You are frigid toward me.....is really chilling and threatening ....I enjoyed reading your powerful poem.😊
