The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree

It’s your apples that i eat

Never knowing which is poisoned. 


It’s your roses I pick

But your thorns still prick


Because you raised me up sheltered, underground.

You kept your troubles to yourself

Until I was wise enough to solve them.  


Then, ripe with the knowledge of your world, i fell

But not so far that you couldn’t reach me.


As I plant my seeds, I am sure of one thing:


I am you

And I hope I never become you.
