Harsh Reality


Every chick needs the opportunity to jump off the branch,

To start flapping on its own.

The earlier the chick flies,

The better off it is in the future.

If the chick takes too long to jump,

and remains in the comfort of home,

it won't get exposed to real life

and would not know what to do when the comfort is gone.
