From fertile land, a plant grows
It bears flowers that turn into fruits
In stormy days and nights too
it survives by firm hold of its roots
It gives off oxygen that's life giving
Its presence spreads around positivity

A parasitic plant soon develops attachment
The main plant gives in quickly to its want
It derives nutrition for its non green form
but there's no equal exchange between at all

The main plant is no longer the same anymore
It's been destroyed by the parasite that grew
It grows much slower, with a yield that's lesser
and it's now more prone to get Infections

P.S. This poem is about the kind of people we befriend. They are surely responsible for bringing changes within us and if the influence is negative, it's not that easy to get back to normalcy....So, one should think before being friendly with someone
