A Happy Poem, Rewritten

By Jacob HaroldPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Redemption.

In a way, the geode is a symbol of redemption.

On the outside, it looks as if it has nothing.

It looks as if it will never contain anything worth smiling over.

However, if one were to break the stone.

If one were to shatter it.

Force it apart.

One would find the shiny array of crystals within.

And in this way, we are all simple geodes.

Holding small complicated things inside.

But it's good.

It's good to be complicated.

For one day, someone will see you in all your complex and confusing contradictory glory.

And they will think that in this sense,

in this one instance.

That you are the most beautiful thing they will ever witness.
