When the Silver Snake fights

When you fightQuiet — but sharp.Your voice stays low, but one sentence goes in deep.

How you're misreadPeople say you're cold.You polish your feelings before you show them. It doesn't mean your heart has cooled.

Your strength in a conflictYou find the heart of it.You sum up a long fight in one sentence.

What Cancer addsYou go into your shell.Cancer water makes your heart bruise more easily. Before you hide: "I'm hurt."
