Your Potential Reality

I could compare it to being in a cardboard box, to be a boat that has to remain on the docks, to be a seed that will never see the sun, to have never kept going when someone said to be done. Not even knowing what was outside, not even knowing how it feels to ride the tide, not even knowing how tall you could have grown, not even knowing the minds that you could have blown. If only you knew that you had the capability, if only you knew that there was a possibility, if only you knew your talent in the making, if only you knew of the opportunities that you weren’t taking. Then maybe, just maybe, your potential would become reality.
