Spider

I am like a spider

but I am just a

misunderstood animal

that everyone likes to pick on

I am gross, I am weird

Very gross, very weird

I am creepy, I am strange

Very creepy, very strange

People scream at me

They are horrified by me

by my very presence

by my very presence

I am like a spider

but I am just a

misunderstood animal

that everyone likes to pick on

I am venomous, yes

but only when I bite!

I will not poison you

unless I am provoked

I am recorded by others

to show the world how scary I am

or to show how brave they are

when they hurt me

I am used as a last resort

I am never chosen for sport

When they call my name

They say it with such distaste

I am like a spider

but I am just a

misunderstood animal

that everyone likes to pick on

I am venomous, yes

but only when I bite!

I will not poison you

unless I am provoked

I'm studied and experimented with

like I'm not a living thing with feelings

I'm interesting, but unloved

lest someone takes a liking to horror

They take turns stepping on me

The squishing and crunching is endless

They pull off my limbs one by one

and I'll lay there and bleed while insulted

I am used as a symbol of treachery and evil

If I try to defend myself, I will be held accountable

for every wrong doing that there is

After all

I am gross, I am weird

Very gross, very weird

I am creepy, I am strange

Very creepy, very strange

People scream at me

They are horrified by me

by my very presence

by my very presence

I am like a spider

but I am just a

misunderstood animal

that everyone likes to pick on

I am venomous, yes

but only when I bite!

I will not poison you

unless I am provoked

but if you hurt me so badly,

I will have to hurt you back

but if you hurt me so badly,

I will have to hurt you back

but if you hurt me so badly,

I will have to hurt you back

I am a misunderstood animal

but I have a venom sac
