I Am Me

Location

Look around, what do you see?

A look, a look is all you'll need

To you, I may be nothing but a rock

A part of the ever changing background

But there is more to me than meets the eye

Look closer, maybe you'll see

 

My hard rough edges are but an illusion

My discoloration, my camouflage

You will not see me for who I am

My many layers, you shall see

Will peel away when you get to know me

I am simple as simple as can be

 

Have you begun to see me for me?

Have my edges been smoothed?

Has my color been restored?

If so, then this is me

The one who is always with you

That beautiful gem on your finger
