The Crab
Cancer (21 June-22 July)
A good defence is the best offence
Smothering love and the moon's influence
Confronting my fear of fluid terrain
I'm constantly dancing in the rain
Protected in shell I supress my fear
of the past reoccouring, you wont find me here
For inside my shell beats a nurturing love
To wan my depression, this love's not enough
Ecstatically sad and chips on my shoulder
Borderline cuckoo and maybe bi-polar
I'm up them I'm down and very persistant
Sensitivity, the one trait consistant
From resentful and moody to sweet and sublime
Daydreaming, a favourite for passing the time
A typical crab with no fingers but claws
Close my beady eyes and ignore all the flaws
Hard but I'm soft and my humour is dry
As wet as a drip and aware I can't fly
So I'll wallow in rockpools of smiles and despair
Both sides of me make a wonderful pair.
