Full Circle

[eris esoteric]

I am the spider on the wall.
I am the light, I am the pall.
I am the quiet one who tracks.
I am the mirror when it cracks.
I am the fire when it burns.
I am the world beneath which turns.

I have eyes that see the doors.
I am the one the world deplores.
I have the hand that always gives.
I am the one who never lives.
I am the child’s cry at night.
And I hold the child tight.

I am the blood beneath the cheek.
I am the healer, healed, but weak.
I am the last that will defend.
I am the rod that will not bend.
I am the flight before the fall.
I am the first and last, and all.

Puzzling, but I like it. Classic riddle format. Is there an answer? (Not that there has to be.)

[eris esoteric]

It's more of a statement, actually.

Well done!

I get it! It's another way of saying, "You know it's always about me"
