green like moss
won't stop growing
like poison ivy
winding, burning
spent too much time looking,
looking left, looking right

i'm stuck
can't find the way
that's meant for me
and only me
i am tangled up
coloured by
covered up in envy

should've known
chasing another road
should've been
tending my own

now i can't see the great big path for these petty wings
