Hard as Diamonds
My scales are as hard as diamonds.
They escape damage.
Threats cannot penetrate my armor.
Protection is their objective.
I warn of my anger.
A single flick of my tongue.
It's quicker than comprehension.
No margin of error.
My bite is deadly.
Venom with every thrash.
Pulsing with my pain.
My heart is cold from damage.
Many layers protect it from threat.
It's cold, but it exists.
Thee is a heart within the darkness.

Beyond The Wall
My mind gets lost in the reality of where we live. The life that we lead can be seen through filters are unknown to the souls of those who realize nothing of the world around them. Expression is what brings light to who we are and what we want to be. Nothing is set in stone, but everything has purpose. Everything has change.
