The Personification of Personal Growth

I’ve never met a homesick hermit crab

Changing shells when theirs becomes too small

Too suffocating

Too constricting

They don’t always now exactly how big they will get

But I admire their wanderlust

And the value they put in development.

To leave a home, a job, a relationship

Even a state of mind

Simply through their instinct to grow

So no, I never met a homesick hermit crab

And I hope they never meet a homesick human
