The expectations of society along with opposite personal goals in life usually leads to conflict and long term confusion. the poem tells the story of a spider (which is the people) who can not make up his mind.

Options present at every corner

Suggestions are given too

Many different roads to take

I walk without a clue

Society sets a path

To follow is up to you

With peeping eyes and rapid tongues

I don’t know what to do

Is this really the way

Or should I follow you

The expected routes are oh so lame

I need something new

An idea comes once more

Could this really be?

My final move and long term plan

This surely is for me

Better routes spring up

Now I walk upside down

My ideas are light I’m slipping off

I fall without a sound
