[beginnings]

my beginnings are small.

because at the start greatness has not yet come.

they are never at their full potential.

potential is unknown.

undeveloped.

they are surreal almost like a dream.

not a clear picture of reality.

my expectations are never completely met.

there is no greater understanding.

I feel anxious, uncomfortable, excited, and hopeful.

I long for the future to see the larger picture.

they are youthful and silly.
my beginnings are small.
