Family tree

 Fruit bore of a poisonous tree
Despite illusions, bittersweet
The beauty easily withered
Foundation jagged and splintered

Fallen leaves quickly decay
Naked trees provide no shade
While on a broken, spiked branch born
The fruit is spited by its thorn

Easily flows to ripened fruit
Stained by poison from its very root
Passed on down to its own seed
Secrets hidden in the family tree

Though it falls hard does not go far
Dictates your path it’s who you are
Deeply rooted, instilled beliefs
Create seedlings of insecurity

From such a seed the same tree grows
And to its fruit the same sap flows
To grow in likeness is destiny
Cut down the tree- don't plant the seed
