Evil Vine

Grows like a weed Strangles my mind Takes over me This evil vine Planted in madness Sadness it's seeds Watered with fear Sunned in mediocrity It's ravaging, savage It twists things, it lies Pain's it's photosynthesis That's how it survives I have to break free of it Hack off it's leaves Pull it out from it's roots Before it overgrows me.

May be the first from you. I love it!!!!!!! You got me I have questions, and I look at your art. Makes me think " how does this apply to me."

It's about anxiety and depression. How it can grow so big and strangle your well being so quickly. " Grows like a weed". You have to beat it down before it takes over. Thanks for your kind words. Xo. Laurie
