The Darker Zodiac

In dark places I dwell,
places where others think is hell.
I can be both, guest or host,
but I am the being that you need to avoid the most.
Just like the frog in the pond would agree,
you must be care what packed you make with me.
My tail with bite and send you in a daze,
I will begin to eat you when you’re still in a hazy.
Hidden is our power and determination,
for by all right we are built with our own salvation.
Armed and small we can inflict pain if we must,
but we would rather sun bath on the hot Earth’s crust.
Pinchers to defend and a stinger to kill,
we cannot be deterred because we have the greatest of will.
We are the best to have on your side to take it all,
but cross us, and you will never see the end to your fall.
Like I said right from the start,
we are a cold being determined but if angered have no heart.
Be weary of us by making us friend or for,
because listen we venture where most people will never go.
Branded by birth a Scorpio I have come to be,
but the question is would you really like to see who is me?
