The spider is lost in my room
Not lost in his sight
He knows where he is hiding
Out of the light

Watching me watching him
crawl across the popcorn ceiling
positioning himself
over my bed
to crawl under the pillow
while I sleep
URGH I cant sleep now
I should have made my
bed this morning
So much for that
The spider is on his covert journey
Plotting how he will bite me in the night
When I could have easily smeared him across my wall
BUT I LET HIM GET AWAY watching him CRAWL
Now I will never sleep!

Oh, that poor misunderstood spider!

Insomnia sucks...bet if you squished that spider you would find you still can't sleep. Spider's just a distraction from what you really don't want to think about.

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!

This made me grin, but seriously, I've been there! I was too afraid to get near it to kill it!
