Poison Ivy of Assumption

Poison ivy of assumption a seed transforms into vines your very branches tread fine lines. Cut off the ones that offend you. Watch as the ivy desecrates the character you never were. Hearsay convoluted, convictions flawed. Are you so jealous or too overzealous? Poison Ivy of assumption ruthless as a boa constrictor. Crack each bone to keep your namesake. Lessening a stranger's significance hoping to encapsulate foreign fences. All for your self decadence? Prey lay dying decimation of their very character. The ivy as a thief in the night. Wearing its victims skin it entangles and destroys. Poison ivy of assumption is no stepping stone sacred with thee? Every leaf a captured soul in your self induced sheol. Void of individual existence tarnished and vindictive in your webbed realm of deceit. Poison ivy of assumption a cycle neverending this much I know is true. Still ever present around today. As green meets green as dawn meets dusk as a star fires away from the sky. I stand in truth to confront this ivy of assumption. I'll stand neither by it nor for it. Poison ivy of assumption. None call it. None escape it, None miss it. I require proof. While you die in the lies that never was and never will be. Poison ivy of assumption be my guest but I won't be there to dine.

The title is interesting, plus something I wish I came up with. :):):) I love how epic and dark you can be. No reason to rub yourself down with someone else's poison. LINDA

I was listening to a song that inspired this random write. Sometimes the best creativity is drawn from spur of the moment things. Thank you for such kind words ;) I try to immerse imagery any chance I get. Nope, best to leave poison with the poisonous.
