Tiny seed planted deep in the mind
Thoughts tainted pale green
It lies deep within the soul
Nibbling on your feelings
Seeking food for growth

Tiny seed planted deep in the mind
Thoughts tainted jade
Slowly become entangled
Attached to the essence
Of every emotion

Tiny seed planted deep in the mind
houghts tainted Emerald
Eating the fiber of your being
Gnawing at your psyche
Clouding every thought

Tiny seed planted deep in the mind
Thoughts tainted black today
Hate, rage, anger, loathing
Are all that remain.
Jealousy killed all other emotion.
