Seed
I know that better days lie ahead but
I cannot see them so instead I
Deflate until I’m empty and lay there crushed slowly sinking
Then the weight hits me like a press and
My heart twinges like it did and
I go from crushed to flattened to inflated by my own skin
I am nothing and yet I cannot be eviscerated
No matter how low I get there is always a seed of hope
Because I am the love that I need
I am always capable of growing
