Centipede

Running in circles

Pretending I know where I am

Or where I want to be

Alleyways taunting

Haunting me out of my mind

They just won’t let me be

I try to stand on my own two feet

And not be too scared to fall

But they just won’t follow my lead

It’s a wonder these legs work at all

It’s truly amazing

The number of fragments

I can break up into

If only somehow they could work together

Think of all I could do

I try to walk in a straighter line

But with every step I stall

Second guessing third guessing and so on

It’s a wonder that I move at all

Oh Centipede

How do you what you do

Wish I could be more like you
