I wrote this 2 years ago. I do see I need to work on punctuation :/ lol
A lost stone
moreso, thrown away
given a look, a second glance perhaps
before you walk away
because what you thought to be a sparkle
is merely a speck of dust
and what you thought would skip five miles and more
did not live up to your expect
and if I could muster up a shimmer or a song
I would
for you would be amazed by me
and want me, love me, keep me long
but I am not a shimmering rock
who sings and skips or pleases you
I am just a thrown away one
you do not need
just walk on by
and I sit amongst these shining pearls
and I'm lost...
who placed me here?
where are all the other pebbles whose gray sides have no glitter?
why am I the only one? who's left alone in this sad place(state?)
why can't I please a single one? who passes through this sad sad place
while you sleep and dream of your happy days
know, perhaps, that I instead lay
and cry
and wear and tear
and break down...
I weep
for I don't know what is wrong with me.
