148 twice-born

Egg-born

I fill my shell.

I conform to it's 

Secure curve and thrive.

Until

I test shell-boundaries:

And in a struggle of

Confusion and fear,

I am

Life-born.

And I realise that

I broke what I was.

And that

The end of what I was

Is

Just

The beginning

Of

Who I 

Am destined

To become.
