#kudzu
The garden would not take root
Hardly a **** could flourish
No matter how much water absorbed
This muddy field left malnourished
Something was amiss in this mucky space
Ennui entwined climbing up the spine
Hippocampus left asphyxiated
The kudzu of the mind
Nothing but an entanglement of
Thought and emotion
Strangling the heart
In this confusing ocean

A glance from you is a seed of kudzu.
The madness spreads,
wrapping around each tree,
gripping it in a panic.
This is not healthy.
I use you like I would pop pills
to forget about things
I don't like about my existence.
Can you lose yourself
within yourself?
Sometimes,
when I sit alone,
I wish the forest of my life would burn.
I would light the match,
and I could once again
see the sky.
