A forest within me,
Vast with trees of emotions.
Amongst these trees,
Stands a twisted eerie tree.
Its roots are connected to all the trees.
Its central root delves deep below the forest.
A tree that thrives on venomous energies.
Within me this tree thrives.
With every venomous kiss it fattens up,
Strangling other trees in the forest.
What will be the poison of this tree?
What will be its demise?
It is getting stronger
Do I cut it off?
Now, it's poison brews in the depths of my soul.
A venomous elixir, a cunny muse.
Its leaves drip with spite.
Its bark oozes with hatred.
Its branches takes form with rage,
Casting dark looming shadows on the rest of the trees.
Its roots spread more with disdain.
Its fruits is a toxic temptation
A bitter concoction of frustration and resentment.
Dangling like curses, tempting my soul,
To submit to its voracious poison, to lose self-control.
To be controlled by its venomous kiss.
To be at its mercy.
Forgiveness and empathy become difficult to attain.
Love and compassion are lost.
Do I let the tree of poison thrive?
No, I let a transformation unfold.
I let forgiveness, empathy, love and compassion thrive.
The journey is hard...long,
But eventually the tree of poison withers away.

A tree that if we let it grow will devour us and destroy us from the inside with its powerful poison, we will be at its will and we will be slaves throughout our lives.

It's a good thing the roots with the poisonous kiss is cut. How easily it can corrupt many with it venom.only the root with empathy, forgiveness should grow.
Nice one. I love how you portrayed the emotions.
The tree shouldn’t grow any further because it will definitely take a lot more from us.
