Let flowers grow inside you
in places you once thought
could never see life again.
Let the emptiness inside your chest
be the soil that nourishes new life.
Let the earth take over
fill sadness with hopefulness.
Bury your feet in the dirt
and know you’ll be fine.
Just because you feel alone
doesn’t mean you are.
They left you hollow and lost
but just because you’re empty now
doesn’t mean new life can’t grow.
