Little clam shell dull in color and bore in shape
All the persons pass by not giving you thought
For they believe you are worth nothing
Due to your unappealing take
Yet they don't take the time to see your beauty on the inside2.
Though in quick sand my body sinks
My heart will soar above the mountain tops
In shadows suffocated by the weight of night
I will stand ready to show who I am
Yet I walk head bowed down
With words speaking silence
My spirit shines brighter then ever be shown3.
The clam's shell is weak and over looked by beauty
Yet that insignificant shell holds its true royalty on the inside
Pear into the clam and you will find a pearl
A majestic secret that nature tries to hide
One shall glance at clam and move onto more appealing items
Yet deeper within simply the cover
You find what the clam really can do.
Slash after slash of inflicting pain
I add to my life
Yet my body slumps and shadows swarm my eyes
Inside I am strong
Inside my clam like shell
I am creating a beautiful pearl
No matter how long the harsh cold night lasts
I refuse to cease creating my pearl4.
I want to shout to those who give me no second glance
I AM MORE . THEN WHAT YOU SEE.
let me show you, the pearl, inside of me..
But I don't
For the wind so loud would cloak my words
So instead I keep my head down low and my words silent
Besides.
What if they do not think my pearl as anything special?Proposed ways to reading order

Or just 4This poem was written before "Red ribbon" if u don't know y this is significant; I make a reference to this poem in that one, you might want t to go back and read it. Thank you for all of you who support me, it means more then the world to me and I can never express how I feel about it- but perhaps that's because I am numb.
