Web

It's trap most of us had already fallen into...

False hopes of a lost cause…

A cornered animal in a constricting cage…

A fragile trust broken by sins of jealousy and lies…

A dark seed of what is left in a child’s shattered innocence…

The spider’s numbing venom as she takes her prey in the deadly web of reality...

This is one of those poems done during my days as a college freshmen...

[The Dreamer]

'Harsh Reality" - how true. reality is never easy. good imagery - ive never thought of reality as a web before - but now that i think of it , i realize how true it is - maybe thats why we are gifted with 'dreams'; to escape the confines of the web of reality.
good one,

thank you and yes dreams are like forms of escape, they give us rest and a type of freedom we don't have in reality... ^_^

'What tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive.'

"every lie plants a doubt to the minds"
