Ivy

Ivy. 
 It wraps around looking for a destination.
 The destination never comes. 

 Ivy. 
 It grows faster then a wildfire.
 Like a river it runs.
 
 Ivy. 
 It burns and itches and 
 spreads unmercifully.
 
 Ivy.  
 It reminds me of well...
 Me.

 Ivy. 
 That is what I would be.









                                                                                         
 The things we relate to when 
                                                                                       
we're emotional are quite funny. 
                                                                                         
       Aren't they?
