Vulnerable as a viper 

without its venom, 

I might seem weaker than ever 

but I'm more poisonous than pythons. 

Your assets no match 

for the asp I really am, 

my bark is only small 

because my bite belittles many men. 

I might appear to be a lamb 

when you see me in the streets,  

but better believe I am the boa, 

who constricts before he eats. 

The scent of your fear

awakens the anaconda within, 

before you even know it, 

my fangs pierce your skin.
