Acorns Like Us

Trying to evolve without growing

Every acorn wants to become a tree

Without blistering its bark

Every archer wants to hit the bullseye

Before ever missing their mark,

Trying to evolve without growing

And show them all you’ve got nothing to prove.

This shaking inside of me,

Is it the stirrings of what I'll grow into

Or am I just cold

And is there a difference?

I’m too scared of not being believe…
