Today's prompt was to write a 'What if...' poem, repeating the 'what if ' line as you begin each new thought...Hatching
what if this is not my real life
what if I am an embryo inside
a shell, consuming yolk and albumen,
growing eyes, ears, feathers,
what if I never realized it is my job
to break the shell,
what if the wall has gotten so thick
I can’t get out,
what if I find a tiny crack I can use
to shatter the shell and escape
what if I let myself out into the world
only to find I can’t fly
what if I open my wings
and discover I can
