The rose sits
The rose waits
The rose does not talk
The rose does not walk
The rose hangs down
The rose keeps a frown
The rose is permanently stuck
The rose is consequently plucked

I am jealous of spiders
Those small, poisonous creatures
They don't care how small they are
Or how weak they are
They fight for their life despite the conditions
They hunt their prey without hesitation
Without pity
Without fear
They can enter any room
They don't need your permission
They all know their purpose
They all fight for their purpose
They catch or become food
They can create their world however they want
No one tells them how to connect their strings
They are clever
That's what makes them deadly
They are small
That's what extends their limits
They are selfish
That's what helps them survive
Their tiny-dark eyes
Those small marbles that extend their vision to places the human eye could never reach
Their infestation of twisted legs
Those agile limbs that move them with surprising speed and balance through any kind of frictional surface
They exist in every corner
Creep through every opening
They could crawl up your skin,
Plant their deadly kiss under the tissues of your outer layers,
Leading you to an agonizing swell of chemicals that tare and torture your nerves and muscles
The aftereffects are as countless as the number of their species
Pain
Nausea
Headics
Paralysis
And if you are lucky enough,
Death
You could have one of these
You could have all of these
They don't care
They are spiders,
And for them
You are a their predator
And their next victim

I detest when people ask: are you OK?
It gets even worse when it proceeds to: what's going on?
I avoid the answer to these questions, for their answer is neither clear nor joyful.
I wish they would never ask
I wish they would just stay quiet
They think they know what I have
They think they know what I need
I don't need their attention
I don't want their attention
I Just want to be in an empty room...
Where the only sound is the echo of my thoughts...
And I don't have to talk...
Or think...
Or move...
But they come back....
They pressure...
They stare....
They judge.....
I want them to leave.
I don't want them to wonder about me.
Leave
Leave me alone.
Stop torturing me.
Only then can I torture myself
