Survival Instincts [Poetry]

I've gotten too busy
searching for comfort in my own skin
to find a place I fit
within the intricate web of society.
I try to belong but simply get stuck
in one edge of the web or another
amongst spiders who want to drink me dry
until I find a web
where I'm no longer placed as the prey.
When I'm there
will I try not to be a predator on the innocent
or is that the only way to survive?
