Growing into Existence

Let me explain this poem first, before you all think I'm mad! For one of my applications to university I had to provide a creative response to "A place where I grew up" Well I took it literally... Take a look! 

 I lay floating, drifting, turning within human existence,
My undeveloped thoughts embrace me, concreting my near subsistence.

How long have I remained amongst the void and gloom?
I have waited, grown and prepared; when is my time to bloom?

 What lies beyond this isolated world?
Success, happiness, excitement, all I have dreamt, floating here curled.

… It’s dazzling, pure, breath taking and blazing!
This light that engulfs me, simply amazing!

Now is my time, to leave this transitory place
Never to return again, to this growing base…
