An intricate design
This winding staircase
Twisting like twine
And white threaded lace
An entanglement of lies
A web, as you may call it
Where liars become flies
And the spiders outwit
You do belong here, my dear
I’ll say so for certain
For those who are too afraid
To pull back your curtain
Since we’ve struggled within this web
You can’t fool me with your guises
As your life begins to ebb
Only one question arises
Who, exactly, are we? Am I?
Would it happen to be that I,
The spider,
And you,
The fly?

Those who placed and honorable mentions read our poems at the award ceremony.
I apologize for not posting much, I entered a poetry competition with my poem ‘Intricacy’ a little while back and tied for second place. It is being published elsewhere but to my knowledge, since I am the creator of the poem, I believe I am allowed to post it here as well. If I am incorrect on this please inform me, thank you!
