A poem for you

You’re a gem and it’s time you hear the proclamation.

You shine bright for mouths and eyes in the conversation.

So many look at you with envy toward your light.

Show ups and blow ups are many spirits you insight.

Day and night you slay it right and your aura just inspires.

Igniting a soulful fire you’re taking everyone higher.

You’re not afraid to be reserved and share your shine.

A very soft heart with a hardened exterior.

A vision clearer. No you were never inferior.

You’re a light. You’re a shine. You are her. You are him.

An unbreakable diamond in the rough. You’re a gem.
