time and time again
sent to
the corner
to learn my
lesson
at times
there is no
lesson to learn
just my older
sister wanting
me to stay
out her way
just another
hour of boredom
and hopelessness

that’s when
I realize
that my world
has change
the walls
closing in
on me
I could feel
spiders
go  all over
me
I try to
get them
off me
only to
realize
there are under
my very skin

I am left
going back and forth
in my head
to either
pick off my skin
and get the
spiders out
or let them
eat me from
the inside

I chose to
claw them from underneath
as I pick
and claw away
at my skin
I see no
spiders
only blood
and muscle
yet I still
feel those little
feet all on top of me

I try so
hard to claw
them out of me
to where
I could feel
them on my chest
I start to claw
my way through
my chest and
pull out
my heart
and that is when
I see the spiders
they are
feasting on
my heart
I try to
get them away
only to pull
my heart
away
I’m too
focus on
getting rid
of the spiders
I don’t even
care for my life

as I finally
completely pulled
my heart out
that is when
I’m back to
reality
sitting in the
corner
barely able to breathe
and yet my sister
doesn’t even notice
the spiders
on me.
