In me I carry burden, regret, and guilt from memories that were planted in my mind a long time ago and now seem hard to forget. They've grown roots which attach to my nerves. Each move I make I remind myself of what I've done. Like a constant itch. With passing days, and no resolution to this madness the roots begin to latch on tighter. The plant grows stronger this way.   Eventually, sanity will slip completely leaving only the plant to control what's left of my vacant human shell.

The Plant
In me I carry burden, regret, and guilt from memories that were planted in my mind a long time ago and now seem hard to forget. They've grown roots which attach to my nerves. Each move I make I remind myself of what I've done. Like a constant itch. With passing days, and no resolution to this madness the roots begin to latch on tighter. The plant grows stronger this way.   Eventually, sanity will slip completely leaving only the plant to control what's left of my vacant human shell.
