Brittle Shells in a Bitter Home

Deep down below

In an ocean once so blue

Lies a graveyard,

Full of brittle shells,

Shattered and scattered

The remnants oh so fragile

A place full of tiny lives,

Sea butterflies looking up at the snow

That once fell from those skies

Now devoid of happiness and vitality

Silence and melancholy take hold

The vicinity bubbling intensely

Flora that blossomed now shriveled

A lone butterfly newly drifting down

Begging for salvation

They find tiny flora,

Tendrils reach to scour the land in white

A tiny butterfly barely hanging on by the thread

They stretch out—embracing it

As it shares its final breath

Its shell cracks,while its wings dissipate

But it smiles happily,

Knowing that the tendrils have begun to spread the seeds

They hold the key

To save them

Those teeny,brittle shells

In a bitter home.

Hey guys! I’m running preorders for stickers I hope to stock in my shop for the foreseeable future. 100% of the profits for these will be donated to various organizations related to their designs. You can take a look at them here for more details. Please boost if you can!

I really wanted to take a step back this week and figure out a way to help raise some money for causes close to my heart that are definitely going to need more engagement in the coming months. If you need a push to do the same, or just want a cool sticker as a motivator please check it out <3
