Pervasive Invasive

There's a plant in my garden, Looks like a tree. I didn't plant it, But I watered it, you see. There's a plant in my garden, With roots running deep. It's sucking the life Right out of me. There's a plant in my garden That's bigger than me. I didn't plant it, But I watered it, you see.

The roots on this one are quite deep. I enjoyed it.

This can be read at different levels; I think I'll take it metaphorically :)

I attempt to describe a common human issue, mentioned even by the ancients - I nurture my faults to my own destruction.
