gems. they sparkle with the light of a thousand glimmering galaxies

but the cannot shine if they're hidden from the light,

concealed from both day and night

longiiing to see the light

the light that is concentrated with its usual might..

and i am no longer

your little gem

and i am no longer

"mon petite bijou"

but this revelation,

has started a revolution in my mind and my body and every cell that dares grow in an organism as tainted as myself

i will get out from under

from under all this soil and rock and land

and i will shine in the light of the sun and the moon

releasing myself from this gloom,
