I am

GROWING UP IS WHO WE ARE

by

Russell R Ellis

I was a worthless sperm, killing to get into a women’s womb

I grew up, I made it, I’ll be a baby soon, that’s now what I am

I was a sperm, no longer am, don’t put me into a punishment tomb

It is now the next step, reward me as I grow, it isn't my plan

growing baby, in a woman’s womb, no worries, just bliss

coming out scared to death, digging in my mouth, wham

terrifying urge to breath the breath of life, reward with a kiss

It's always the next step, reward me for who I now am

life will start with urges, curiosity, then an experiment

each stage turns us into a different person as we grow

you will never be that sperm, that stage went

growing up never ends, stages continue, change is slow

from the beginning fate cons the future to punish that sperm of past

it's con is closure, but closure only ends with a quick goodby, move on

forced to be hurt by the terrifying painful challenges created by Gods cast

reward the future, except the past without judging the failures, they are gone
