The Aftermath

What I allow, What I brood over, What I give freeway, This tender shoot, Green and fragile, Sprouting, Becomes a huge tree, Wide girth, Thick branches, These spread in different cardinal directions, Forming a gigantic canopy, This infiltrates my sane thoughts, This encroaches on my tranquil flow, Dark and murky beneath the surface, I wrestle with my thoughts, I battle with my mind, It’s taking every ounce of strength, I’m under its weight, I provided the fertile ground.
