Literature Text

The girl was out of control, sprinting too fast.
She ran herself right down into the ground
And did not stop until she was so far under

The sun was lost to layers of soil and earth, too
Heavy for her exhausted arms to lift. Trapped;
She curled herself up and rested, dormant

A seed. Alone, she waited. Time passed, seasons
Changed as gradually parts of her began to awaken and
unravel. Painful at first, reaching out, pushing up, searching-

When she finally broke the surface she shyly stood
Unsure of herself, slowly shaking off the dirt until
She found the warmth again and bloomed.
