Planted Within

An untruth is told

A seed is planted

My body is the soil

The roots infest my veins

The seedling sprouts

I’m overgrown with

Weeds

 

Tell a not lie

Planted is a seed

Soil is my body

My veins become the roots

A sprouting seedling

I’m a flowering

Garden

 

Split me in half

Save the flowers

Take the weeds

That strangles me

Uproot them all

My veins scream

The garden is gone

And the weeds left a scar

I’m just unplanted soil.
