Clouded Jem
I see how you wtch those wild, uncut diamond
Beautiful, despite their flaws, in your eyes
And there is a rock, grey-brown, and ugly
No value, no meaning, yet you clutch it to your side
Deiscard me, unpolished, imperfec, different
Like a black pearl in a pile of white
I always thought black pearls were precious
Yet you hang on pitifully to that ugly sight
You passed me away for free, sign away claim
You're a dealer, yet you don't know how to trade
Tos me from hand to hand, my beauty they abrate
And through all the strife, the loveliness begins to fade
Sometimes my cloudiness goes away
And they polish me rougher, and scar me deep
They just don't seem to understand or know
That through those wound, this faded jewel can weep
