Well, after 4 years of a hiatus, I have returned. I used to write under the name Arashi, back in the day, but due to bad memory I completely forgot about this place, my screen name, password, car keys, and a child at the produce stand out in the sticks. Anyways, enough about me. Let's get down to what you really clicked here for... my words..... now where did I put that button.... Ah, there it is.
*click*
Flip-flop, flip flop
Bouncing back and fourth
Forever changing size and shape
Soaring higher and higher as you go
But the glass ceiling will not be kind to you little one
For when it shatters you will deflate
But keep on soaring to your destiny
It's all that you have left in this world
Delusions of eternity within your grasp
Just bounce higher, you'll reach it
Spiders lies taste sweeter than honey
Following you along your perilous journey
Building the walls of web as you bounce
Nearing the top, quandaries are made
Why are you bouncing so high?
What do you wish to accomplish?
Answers fail you
From when you started
To were you are
You have lost all reason
Spider looks upon you in disgust and gives you a name
Loser, hopeless, pathetic, alone
The glass shatters followed by the piercing rain of reality
Slicing through your form leaving you bloody and falling
Spider follows, watching with a grin on its face
With a thud you are on the ground
Motionless, lifeless, loveless
Nothing but a fractured heart
And a spider waiting for the next one
