i have a tim burton tree growing inside of me i nourish it with the cacophony of the mind that relentlessly speaks to me about my inadequacy the stronger the tree the weaker i feel no will power left to undo the theft the black branches have committed they were found guilty of hijacking my presence my higher self, my essence the real me retreated without putting up a fight was it because it knew i was not even worth the try alone in the dark, i looked for the light but still, cannot even find a spark nothing else to do but to water the plant and the hope that maybe one day i’ll understand what could, should, or might be without this darkness taking over me

I wrote this in 2010 to cope with the loss of my father.
