As you grow up,
you begin to recognise
the thin spider’s web
that’s holding us all,
delicately dangling above hell,
and some willingly cut
their ties with all of humanity
and enter the depths of
this lonely hell
before their time.
Others who recognise the web
that connects us all
can contact the spider,
finding their way to make
more connections
with love, friendship, and care.
While few
sacrifice their own strand
to strengthen
another’s.
