I am not a natural born leader

i will follow you

step by step

trapped in your cobweb of deceit

i am the insect

for you to squash

in the palm of your hand

you hold my heart within

a blazing furnace

ever testing my will

clogging the air i breathe

pointing me in the right direction

of hatred and derision

how did i never realise

just what you were making me into

grooming me, only to bring me down

pathetic eyes i now see through

it is always and forever the same

like every single revelation

to me, come too late
