Roots

It starts with a tiny seed that's planted deep in your heart. and its ugly, the ugliest thing you'll ever feel. You try to forget about it, thinking one day it'll just go away. But the longer you let it sit there, the more ugly it becomes and before you know it, that seed is now roots of the most terrible kind. It's wrapped around the very thing you thought you were. It has taken over your heart, mind, body, and soul. Everything you knew, you no longer know. And when you think your strong enough to leave, to stand up on your own you are reminded by the person who planted that deep seed. "No one is going to ever love you." So you sit, feeling those roots take the rest of what you thought you could be.
