Bean

I'm trapped in a bean

If you know what I mean

Maybe you don't...

Maybe I don't... 

The hard shell encloses me

Protecting from life's clarity

But also shutting out everything else

It might be time to find myself

I take a tentative step out

Then two more to prove my clout

To myself, of course

Now stepping in fours

Striding, running before my courage is gone

Leaping out, the world is not so bad, I was wrong

I am a jumping bean in a new land

The best things are the ones not planned.
