The Stone

The ones who shine the brightest

got the darkest souls

glowing in the night

like a fire bug

but in the end

they're just ugly insects.

The ones who apparently don't shine

got their brightness buried

hidden in their inside

like an amethyst

once you crack it open

everything around you shines.

The ones who look at it

choose the bright shine

instead of the grey stone

and when the insect dies

only darkness remains. 
You should have taken the stone.
You should have known!
