deadly facets of behaviour

Locust

a white rose

in a castle's garden

protected by thorns 

the desolation of a callus depression 

morbidly obese it exists 

decapitated from top to end

lacking leafy greens

regurgitating carbohydrates 

it never knew self love 

in an ocean of  placid addiction 

it kisses and it loves

weighing at 50 stone 

while a cold graveyard awaits 

to set everyone free

    a harrowing depiction
    but morosely, easily recognisable:
    'a white rose
    in a castle's garden
    protected by thorns
    the desolation of a callus depression
    morbidly obese it exists'..
    when 'treating' symptoms and conditions
    we forget, most psychological rooted
    traumas, were instigated by external influences
    like those 'thorns' - 'protecting'
    at a costly, price...
    an empathetic write, thanks for sharing
