Serpents Have Feelings Too

For the longest time, I have faced many snakes under the guise of humans. Their fakeness is so obvious that it feels like an insult to think that anyone would assume that that's a genuine person. It is poison in the air with their presence. Suddenly, everyone has to pretend that they are human so they don't get bitten. For they may not be great at creating believable faces, however, never underestimate the bite of a hidden snake. They strike stealthily, right under your nose, and attack everything that you may care about in the blink of an eye. It does not matter if they are now exposed, it is their potential danger that keeps everyone pretending they are genuine. 

Here is the funny part though: these beings hiding under the husks of normal personalities to fit into societies somehow still have feelings of their own. How in the world can a being fake everything and yet hold something so genuine shoved deep inside all of the glass layers it has built onto itself is beyond me. It does not matter. What matters is the intentions of a snake blending into society. What pushes them to do so? Why put in all that effort to fit into such a lame, corrupted, and honestly, disappointing human world? 

From what my observations have been with the snake people is that their emotions are lava. No one is meant to touch it, manipulate it, or even see it up close. Those glass layers mentioned earlier? Those layers are constructed with the cement of trauma. They were once a being that they wish no one have to see them as ever again. So perhaps the pretending could be done out of consideration and not fear. Be a friend to the snake person.... maybe you would be the only genuine friend they will ever have.
