Hesitant Seedling

Covered in mud
thats all I have known
i try to stay small
no threat approaches that way.
Keep it inside
no one can see
i dont even understand what is there
The stretch hurts
the preasure from inside-
it tries to break through
Why now?
ive never betrayed my call
bureid deep, not bothering anyone
But they say the cold is leaving
i hear rumours of a light to come
they break.
Theyre weak.
insides now spewed out
they stretch up to the unknown
Im losing my grasp
then it happens
with a stab from inside
My protecion is broken
as I looked down all was black
but up I felt welcoming call
Cautious and begrudging I move
the mud was now more gritty
i felt it scratching at my skin
Until my first breath of sun
my lungs expanded
fear gripped my chest
But I opened my eyes
greeted by a world
i never knew it was here
Danger and growth
a risk now at each side
but before, all i knew was mud
I allow the piercing expansion
i trust the rain
i breathe the light
A petal blooms
covered in sun
I never wouldve known
