Species

I was devastated
Nothing less than demolished to the core
The moment I discovered
I am the only one of my species

Natural selection
Has led me to the wretched state
I have existed in
Since the beginning of my time

I have no one
Not one to understand my ways
Or why I chose to live a serpents life
Not one person to comprehend
The misery of surviving as a demon

My intentions dumbfound me
As they are often good
With a heart of gluttony and greed
And yet I firmly have faith
That I am a good person at heart

Being one of my own species
Calls for desperate measures
To appear human
To look no different and act just the same

A master of disguise
I lead a walk around to earth
Alone
And constantly pondering my upcoming extinction
