Evolution

You threw me in the deep end
To teach me to reach for breath
But instead I twist and I bend
Growing gills in the watery depth

Remember me for faster sign in

You said I didn’t have the guts
So I carved my bones into shape
I’ll leave the road for the shortcuts
Cross the war-torn landscape

You complained I took too long
so I effortlessly waited you out
You thought fast meant strong
But true strength is doing without

All these features you saw as flaws
Now you see they’re my best tools
If your journey is just for the applause
You’ll never find the true jewels
