Description Your petals that gave you life and beauty will fall off one by one and the core that's left is going to be just as insignificant as when it only came out of the ground.

The description you put reminds me a lot of a Sylvia Plath poem called Edge. Here is the part of it this reminds me of:
"Each dead child coiled, a white serpent,
One at each little

Pitcher of milk, now empty.
She has folded

Them back into her body as petals
Of a rose close when the garden

Stiffens and odors bleed
From the sweet, deep throats of the night flower."




This is such a beautiful shot! I love the editing.

i really loved her novel as well, it was so strong, and basically that was the time i started to read the autobiographies/stories of suicidal and depressed people
