the seed of this idea was planted when i reached my lowest point
my heart was battered and bruised, and my mind was in a fog
the root of it all dug deep when i lost my grandfather
and the feeling i felt began to resonate more when i was close to losing another
my dreams, which had all but faded away
soon came rushing back, but this time as nightmares
and once i lost the summer, the vibrancy of my life was no longer
every day felt shorter, time felt longer, and my world felt colder
it took 3 months to finally get myself out of this slumber
out of this deep hole i found myself buried down under
and when i broke through, this is what was made of it
these same ashes of my heart from my sorrow, are what allowed this rose to bloom

Special Thanks: First and foremost, thank you to everyone that helped create this. This really was a collaborative effort. So many ideas were birthed while on set alone and without everyone involved adding their own ideas, this wouldn't have been possible. Lastly, thank you Abhi//Dijon for inspiring me to create again and helping me dig out that hole.
