The Seed

I am the seed 
Deep in the ground
In my protected shell 
I am safe and sound

Such a lonely place
With nothing but soil
And darkness around.

Is this all there is to my
Existence? 

To remain in safety and 
Comfort?

How many days, weeks months have
I been down here?

I am sure there has to be more to my 
Life than just sitting in the ground. 
Because I am starting to feel trapped
And alone no one or nothing to relate
To as long as I am living in this dark place.

I am the seed the seed is a reflection of me
It is not just a fancy title or label but a stage
In my life on my journey to discover and uncover
My true potential & identity.
