chapter 24: 'of feelings and plants'

I like to think of feelings as plants,

As beings of their own with a path,

That grow steadily from a blank slate,

But are unaware of their approaching fate,


More accurately your own as they're the reason,

At times you'll feel cold to the bone,

Like when you drown in repentance,



When you're choking on a vine,



You ache for someone's presence,

As your body begins to decline,


But them? 


They grow in unbearable conditions,

Where there's no rainfall or ideal temperature,

Alone they thrive without provisions,

On pavement cracks or even gutters,

They'll evolve while everything else shatters,

They'll disregard what you'll do afterwards,

Now that they're all jumbled and messed up,

You'll cram to regardless try and move forward,

Even if what you want to do is throw them up.
