In the ground, In the Rot

“In the ground, in the rot. Can’t see what you’ve got, can’t see what you’ve lost”

In the depths of mental rot it’s easy to overlook growth But beneath the surface, amidst the rot, seeds take root. They are waiting,ready to bloom into something beautiful. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s potential for renewal, for finding the light within the shadows it’s just taking the time to look up
