You might think I’m just
a young, naive boy
with brown hair
and jade green eyes
But I know I am more
far more than that
not a strong rock or towering mountain
not a vast galaxy or expansive universe
A rose quartz crystal
a small, pale pink rose quartz crystal
When I feel deserted
realizing the insignificance compared to the expanse of the world
I am a pale pink gem unimportant
trapped deep below the surface
exposed to radiation
bystanders ignoring the sluggish transformation
not noticing the beauty projected from my core
But when I am energetic
the spectators are surrounded
as I radiate my new-found self worth
and engulf my surroundings in mounds of compassion and love
attracting friendships with my beautiful interpretations of reality
I encourage others to believe in themselves and then I disappear
I’m continuously active
until I heal those around me
and that’s where my journey ends
until I find others to cure again
and again
and again
The brown-haired, jade green-eyed boy
is a rose quartz crystal
a small, beautiful, self-loving rose quartz crystal
