Geodes
Some people say that geodes are like jack-in-the-boxes,
you have to wait to see what's inside.
But I don't think it's as nice.
Geodes need to be hurt to reveal their beauty,
kinda like people,
you know?
Although it's kind of sad, it still makes sense.
You can't be beautiful if you aren't hurt.
At least geodes are pretty cool,
kinda like how hurt people are cool.
Really we're no different from them, we just feel higher.
Humans like being higher up than other beings, it's kinda funny.
We think we're gods amongst animals but really, we're just like rocks.
Plain rocks, that can be cracked into something beautiful.
Broken up, shattered, smashed,
all of those really,
until we explode into something more.
But for now, most of us are just rocks.
Not geodes,
just rocks.
