Do I Exist?

Perspective

By Everything AushanePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I'm a spider living in a world where people can't see me, do I exist?

I see everything and hear everything but still I do not exist.

Spiders of my kind are getting killed

Next after next, I lose my will

I get looked down upon, because of the species that I am

do you get what I am saying do you see it yet?

We hide, we fight, and sometimes we blend in

But that is because it's hard to fit the standards of this world I live in.

It is not my fault I was born this way

I'm just a spider anyways.

I don't get why butterflies are not killed

and why I am hunted because of my skin.

Yes, I do exist in this world

but I don't exist the way others want me in this world.
