Coal

A Poem by JessikaEndsley

Poem about how people describe me

Diamonds
Won't win me over like a love like this
You and Me
You know we could be shining
If you could see me
Transparent
No but you don't see anything
I don't need a parent
All of my promises, Just
All of my love, Rare
Going out of my mind
Couldn't you just care

Could you look past the dark side
Embrace me I'm just fine
The light and the lack of
Is all in me, sent from above
This is me
You say I'm crazy
Do you know about love
And I may not be Nietzsche
But God, damn I'm getting so close
Why do I feel so enclosed

Coal
Black as when the moon wanes
All of my promises Cold
Not like ice, nothing I say to melt
What is it to be insane
You didn't get it the first time
Will you hear me out
Will you take me in
Do you love me
Do you love the idea
Am I worth it?

Could you look past the dark side
Embrace me I'm just fine
The light and the lack of
Is all in me, sent from above
This is me
You say I'm crazy
Do you know about love
And I may not be Nietzsche
But God, damn I'm getting so close
Why do I feel so enclosed

If this is who I really am
Will you love me if you can?
