like a seed waiting to germinate and bloom in glorious agony

the earth
01.02.19
It is
dormant,
waiting
my skin shows promise to freeze,
And crack. Break.
It
eminates from me
like a seed waiting to germinate and bloom in glorious agony
inside
inside
it is buried inside
digging
breaking through the skin
the earth
oh when where you planted
my tears only help you grow
heat, once a comfort, sees you bloom a new leaf,
it all comes from the earth
the mother earth
Emily Johnson, 15, Edinburgh
