We are all Jewelers

Potentiality is a burden that is best to not be served raw
The uncooked beauty shining through is still not the real you
I hope that I can spice your life and share a few useful recipies
Techniques to hone your facets irregardless of if you are to be my ultimate dish

Shaping and molding our lives only to petrify another in stasis
Not taking into account what it is that they will be, flee
It is not we that gets factored in, but a reflection of the "me"
Predetermination can cause misconception or misdirection

Weighing out the measure of someone when we do not know the weight of ourselves
Gauging the matter of their final brightness when we cannot see our own
Magnifying the flaws on the other end of the looking glass
Making it impossible to see back into the eye of the beholder

Scrutiny is necessary, the jewelsmith needs to know how to work the stone
He should know his art and its subject before taking license
Burnishing and polishing every side independently alone
Absorbing and reflecting the very essence of the universe

Only then will the epoxy truly hold a gleaming diamond to its band eternally
