I could never fully recover

It rooted itself inside of me

It was in everything

It came out in my everyday activities

My thoughts

It was growing inside me

The further away I got

The bigger the root grew

The evil spread

Like butter on toast

Like viruses had

All over

Until I was nothing but the root

The evil had taken over

The root had grown into a beautiful tree

But this beauty was not good

It was evil

Each branch an awful thing

Each leaf an awful thought

Something that killed me

Crushed me

Ended me

All over a little seed

Into a root

Into a tree

Into me.
