That thought’s been crawling inside my head,
forever and a day
Each time I try to pin it down,
it always runs away
I am not sure just when it came,
or what brought it here
It’s like a webs spun in my mind,
stretched from ear to ear
It sometimes itches; figure that,
to scratch inside your brain
A fleeting moment,
then it’s gone, driving me insane
It keeps coming closer to the front,
I saw it yesterday
Rattling around so many times,
the ends may start to fray
Look real deep into my eye,
and tell me what you see
Is something there; or am I nuts,
what’s happening to me
I need to rest to calm right down,
there’s something gone awry
I feel it now it’s coming out,
the corner of my eye

your poem even without the prompt is creepy.. with the prompt... I now have the creepy crawlies really bad.. why is that you may ask... I have a confession spiders creep me out really really bad. at the moment I'm having difficulty, nothing like having a phobia of spiders.. pics make it worse and words are right there with the pic. You've done an outstanding job with both...
You captured my attention and kept it through the entire poem which of late is quite hard to do..
good luck
