The Spider

When hate and rage eat away at your heart,
        you begin to change.

Your beauty inside morphs into an infection
         where darkness reigns 

The infection is a spider, its darkness its web
          you are a victim

It takes one small mistake to become paralyzed
           it becomes a habit

But, every time you speak hate or breath rage,
           you vibrate the web

Each and every move only spreads the infection
           the spider gets closer

Untangle yourself from the web of rage and hate
            and destroy your demon, the spider.
