Lesson # 5

There is a Jewel most say does not exist.

Even when they are given the chance to bask in its glorious light.

Too many, too many that it's sad

believe that it will one day turn into what it actually is;

a rock.

Didn't someone say, "we are what we believe?"

Or at least, we are what we believe, eventually.

I was said to be naive that one time,

holding on with all faith I could muster,

determined to prove them wrong.

As wondrous as it was, life happened, and it was time.

My lesson was not in realizing my naivity,

not to let the thought go and conform.

I suppose it would take more to break this childish hope.

With time, things will change.

Massively, sometimes.

But the essence, should not.

The core, the glue, that little something that has always kept it real, should not.

What is simple should not be made complex.

And what is complex should not be taken lightly.

With the exact amount of faith and trust from not just one,

but two,

you'll see.

You'll see.

forget please, 

all the reasons why it won't work.

realize instead,

the reasons why it always did

and always will.
