Caught in that Spider Web, Never, EVER!

I feel like a helpless bug, not able to think for myself, I shrug

Everything seems to be enclosing and controlling me, I can't fly away

Instead, I am just stuck here, caught up in an entangled ball of string, I can't even play

Dwelling, it's playing on my mind, my feelings, nowhere to hide

My legs are not fast enough, they keep dragging behind

Spiders everywhere, I hear them creeping closer to me

I beg to be free, free from the control freaks, they seem to be everywhere

My own family is the worst, they know how to manipulate, compare you to your sister

Crawling on my hands and knees, feelings of defeat, I am so tired of this, it feels like a disaster

The eight legged creatures are in my way, I have had enough of their torment

I will just have to get rid of them and eat them I swear, without recent

I must get back up on my feet and fight these demons, and stand my ground

I will face them and just laugh in their faces, then let us see who comes around

My confidence has lifted, my chin is up, as I drink the water from the drain

All my worries will be gone, as I toughen up my new skin

The old skin, I will shed, no more shame, for I'm not the one to blame

I'll clear those cobwebs from my mind, and no longer must I be blind

I see clearly now, the rain has gone, somewhere over that rainbow I will be me, creative and clever

For I am woman, hear me out, I am a Praying Mantis, and I will chew you up and spit you out

You can't get the best of me, just try catching me, you'll see

I will never be caught in your spider web, not ever

But, Never, EVER!
