Coiled energy
Ready to explode
With the right set of circumstances
I’ve been programmed
To grow straight
And branch out
At the right times
Always seeking sunlight
Always hoping for the higher ground
I’ll crack my hard shell open
And grow my way out
Poke myself up
And see what this world is about
Sending out feelers
Converting minerals into food
Making me tall and strong
With thick skin
To hold the hazards at bay
For a thousand years
Or more
I would grow
If only I could get the ok
For now
I’m just a seed
In this box
Waiting for the chance
The chance
Of my lifetime
