(inside)the world wide web(prompt 29)®
In a web of fire i am caught
pure of heart and soul,
too weak and tender i haven't fought
and the web has got control.
The fire burns with strangling pain
and the web is full of lies,
to trap me is its main
objective and not that of my cries.
Along came a spider
and said i will keep you safe with peace,
it wasn't black like evil....
but so full of vivid color
i thought it'd help fear to cease.
At first i thought it'd protect me
cause it looked so safe and warm,
but now i can feel and see
that it's meant to weave a trouble swarm.
It's not just here
but worldwide,
no matter where i go i fear
that i'm with misery inside.
I am stuck within
as long as i'm on earth,
i have no strength to spin
out of its grasp for i have no self worth!
