Grow Yourself Like A Seed

Not all caterpillars know that they can fly.
Like reptiles do, you must constantly shed your skin.
Wait, but do not lose yourself.
Wait patiently; therein lies the truth about yourself.

Darkness like a snail, creeps slowly into the soul
But your fire must never be quenched like thirst.
You know the things that must be done,
They cannot be taught, but you must learn.

There is a reason why seeds are planted
Instead of being thrown up into the sky.
You must learn too as you walk this earth
To throw yourself like a seed.
