Some days I lie back and I wonder

Evolution

That sly creature –

       Who decides when

A fin becomes a tail

     And a fish becomes a bird?

Some days I lie back and I wonder

Do cells think for themselves –

Independent democratic

Schools of thinkers?

Do cells think

Mamma I wanna be a dinosaur

But mamma I wanna be a bird

Mamma I wanna be a phoenix

Mamma I wanna fly

Mamma I wanna soar

Mamma I wanna rise from the ashes

 And  evolve into something more

If I wish hard enough

If I beg hard enough

Do you think my cells would listen to my call?

Do you think one day I could wake up

And I'd soar?

I wrote this poem a while ago and for some reason I have kept putting off publishing it.
I have so missed being an active  member of Wattpad.

Next year I will be taking a gap year and I am so exited to try and write more in it and be on here more often.
Thanks so much for still reading my work. Being able to share my poems here and get feedback and advice has been wonderful. ❤️💕💖🌻
