"Cut the head off of the snake" By Nevaeh Phillips

You have a tendency to slither back in

Cut the head off of the snake

Doesn’t it feel restricting?

Cut the head off of the snake

The perpetual cycle of destruction

Cut the head off of the snake

Only to recreate more pain

Cut the head off of the snake

I’m sharpening my axe blade

Cut the head off of the snake
