If I was in Harry Potter I would be a Slytherin

​

I would be the snakes of the world 

I would show my green scaley skin and I would hiss at those who I despise

For I despise the most of them 

And people I find are slimely

Cause people cross boundaries that keep me contained 

So I hiss and I bite and I show my long fangs 

Because the boundaries I set always seem to break 

The boundaries that protect me from them 

Not them from me 

I'm not as scary as I seem to be 

Because if I let someone in and they step on my tail 

Or laugh at my scales 

Then the boundaries I set don't last 

So I hiss and I bite to keep myself hidden 

But I've been aching to shed some new skin
