I once beleived
I had a sense of self
as a rock remains steadfast
in its constant hardened shape
while it remains affixed
unchanging and unmoving
This rock of self was
battered by torential rains
and an endless barraging
of heavy winds
that tried to crack its purest core
and always failed
this is the self of my naive youth
that guided me and kept me safe
and never steered me wrong

And now I feel
that I have been weathered
this rock has finally cracked
I no longer know the light of truth
from the emptiness of lies
I have been strung along this spider's web
with promises in greatest confidence
that no longer appear so clear
My rock has crumbled and my self
is strung along a web of deceit
I don't know who to beleive
and I wonder
should I keep faith in them anymore
for a fleeing chance at hope
or should I cut these sly connections
and rebuild the rock to greater stature
from the dust of new beginnings
and be free from the slime of twisted mouths
no longer being strung along
this ever-growing web
that holds me from myself

Well, all you can really do is grab Terra Firma and crawl away from whatever/whomever attempts to deceive you. Maybe look up at the stars and the moon and project your thoughts somewhere else?
