The travail
The strain
To break out
Break free
The pressure 
Unbearable
The shell
Impenetrable 
Until…
A crack
A release

Then up and out
A shoot
It grows
Tendrils
Stretching 
Far and wide
The others look over
In disbelief
How is it you’re out
Yet we’re stuck inside?

The pain
Deep enough 
To stop you in your tracks
The sorrow
It torments
Makes you want to turn back

But keep going 
Keep going
And soon you will see
Little Seed, you were buried
So that you might become
A great tree

Breaking from status quo, expectation, and the “norm” can be a difficult path. Detaching from everything you’ve ever know to become everything you were meant to be is well worth it. Regardless what the others may think. ❤️

Allow the transformation and be transformed. 🌱
