You make me creep out

This is kind of deceiving
Can't tell the front from the rear
My first thought 'I'm leaving!'
And come back when it's all clear.

So many legs to creepily crawl
Looks flat like a ribbon
It will fall on me in the shower stall
That's an appalling vision!

I shriek and rush out nude as fuck
But it will drown in there, that's something I reject
I'm too kind, that's the monster luck
With some paper the house centipede I have to collect.

Once the way is clear I can have a shower
For my act I still feel badass and gritty
Not talking about a fear gives it power
A poem to tease myself, that's so witty!
For :iconcrphotography: group I Challenge You v.2 challenge. It's a big challenge where you choose a medium and someone challenges you to create something within that medium.
"I challenge you to write a poem about the animal that scares you the most."

Funny fact, I made a poll a while ago about which creature on this Earth makes us freak out.
I picked the House Centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata.
This poem is inspired by a true story. So, here you go!

I like how the describe the centipede! It's very clearly a smaller thing but it still is very creepy. I think your rhymes are very clever and well done; it's hard to do that!
