Venom in the Bath

Splashes, shadows lurking low,

Danger's in the water's flow.

Stepped into the bath so warm,

Thought I’d relax, escape the storm.

But lurking in the silent nook,

Venom in disguise, took a look.

A tiny cut, a silent threat,

A whispered warning, don’t forget.

Suffer in the stillness, feeling strange,

Pain creeps in, rearranged.

Ouchie, that stings so deep,

Venom’s got me feeling weak.

Bath’s no sanctuary, no sweet release,

Cut by danger, can’t find peace.

Dive beneath with caution high,

Every splash could amplify.

Suffer silent, don’t ignore,

Venom’s bite behind the door.

Wash away the fear and pain,

Learn the lessons from the stain.

In the quiet, find your strength,

Heal the wounds, go the length.
