I am a seed

it's dark in here

I feel cramped

lonely

frightened

the earth I live in

is difficult to push through

the sunlight I know must be there

seems so distant

almost non-existant

every day is a battle

as I attempt to

push my way to the sunlight

sometimes I find stones

blocking my path

it would be so easy to quit

because I am so tired from working

but I push around them

and keep on moving

ever upward

someday I know

I will see the sun

then I will emerge

and I will become something beautiful

I will be greatful

I did not stop

when rocks blocked my path
