I am a spider...
By Susan Riley
I have several personas...
like the legs of a spider...
all part of me...
but leading in different directions...
I have a different one for each type of person I meet...
and the people close to me have seen them all...
Happy and caring,sad and compassionate..
Indifferent,disinterested....
Nasty,cruel and disrespectful...
All make up who I am...
What I am like..
Me...
I am either loved or hated...
nothing in between...
mostly loved I am happy to say..
but feel the hatred when it is around me...
I pity those who hate me...
and give them pity...
for how sad must their life be for wanting to hate...
I hate noone...
dislike....get bored with...feel indifferent to...
but not hate...
its too consuming...
Hate can eat your soul...
So...I am a spider...
An arachnid of sorts...
Scuttling around...
Trying to control all these personas...
and they take me straight...
Down the path that is my life...
Down the path to who I am...
My path...
the path of Me...
