I want to be like Ivy,

The plant not the girl…

To take root in the harshest conditions and situations

And flourish,

Shade tolerant in a time when things are a bit to dark.

Hard to eradicate,

like a memory.

I want to be like Ivy,

The plant not the girl…

Almost overwhelming in its presence,

But yet appreciated for it is beauty and nature.

Cultivated, and tended for,

A deciduous creeper plant of the heart; a lovestone.

I want to be like Ivy,

The plant not the girl…

Mostly ornamental,

But making things simple, adding value

Building character.

I want to be like Ivy,

The plant not the girl…

Living within a wall that is impenetrable and will not be damaged,

But unlike ivy not likely to cause more damage than the ivy itself if its forcefully removed.

Just leave behind a thin webbed veil of where my roots existed.

I want to be like Ivy,

The plant not the girl…

The girl just seemed…

Poisonous .
