Crystal Allegory

My room is large.
I have a fireplace
with a wooden mantelpiece
acting as an arbor over it.
On the edge, dangles
a crystal.

She's like a teenager.
She has mood swings
every day, depending
on how much light
shines on her each day.

She likes to speak encouragement
to me, but that only happens
when she isn't feeling ugly.
A crystal, feeling ugly?
Is that possible?
But it is.

In reality, she is a

chip from the azure sky.

An inner light shines like the heights above.

She was stolen from her niche

in the sky, and she wants to get

back to true happiness which the

she can only find in the light.

 

I wish I could rocket my crystal

to where it belongs, but she

reminds me of how my life

looks like.  So I'll keep her.

Author notes

Well, if you were wondering what some of the "symbols" mean, I'll tell you! In the second stanza, the "light" is friends. In the 3rd stanza, it explains how I feel ugly even tho inside I'm beautiful. In the 4th stanza, I'll keep that to myself! and the 5th is self explanatory. =) enjoy!

    I want to know the fourth stanza. *whines like a little child* I'm begging; I'm pleading! *gets down on her knees* I'm down on my knees! Anyway, this was a beautiful poem. Great job! Good luck in the contest you've entered. =]
