you look at me like a spiderweb
you want to take me
and lock me in your trap
i see through you
i have proof
that you want my doom
you look so kind
but i'm not blind
you are a foe inside
you really are like a spiderweb
you want to delete me
from the Facebook app.
you truly are a spiderweb
you want to take me
and starve me to death.
Aha, the app trap. Now there's stuff for a poem!
ReplyDelete.... and why I take week long breaks from social media!!!! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteBest to clear those cobwebs out of one's life with a good cleaning!
ReplyDeleteDon't get caught!
ReplyDeleteSome people are like spiderwebs aren't they? Best we steer clear of them.
ReplyDeleteHahaha... :)
ReplyDeleteYes, there are traps and trappers on social media – but if we are aware, we can navigate our way around them.
ReplyDeleteHaving a relationship where one of you is being subjected to the other rarely bodes well. We should delight in the others individuality and hopefully know they felt the same way about us.
ReplyDeleteam smiling that facebook has wormed its way into a poem!
ReplyDeleteSometimes traps are set in our path and we never see them. I'm glad you recognized those traps set for you.
ReplyDeleteApps...they can certainly trap you.
ReplyDeleteGood one! I keep my distance from facebook.
