what a mess

as tough as bark
her skin is like an outer shell that covers her dense inside
hiding handfuls of new seeds
just waiting to be discovered

each little morsel bursting
a new surprise
a new discovery
but by the time you've gotten to know her
your hands are drenched

dripping with inner turmoil
shes just a mess
creating stains where ever she goes
