Lockjaw

Perhaps you never considered the fact

That if a baby sea turtle, fresh from the egg,

Can make a mad dash to the ocean, with no help at all

Risking life and limb to merely exist

Knowing nothing up until this point except 2 things

Move and Survive,

Well then my friend

You too must leave your nest in the sand.

It may be crisp and it may be secure

But it is coarse.

And will do you more harm than good.

There is an entire ocean waiting for you. All you need to do is run to it.

Face the elements. Overcome nature.

And then swim.
