Roger has a pool of pearls, but just doesn`t get it! The glistening isn`t obvious, just charred and neglected.
Brush that jewel,dust the rust apprieciate the tool that is you. Don`t become the mule, the secret fool.
Take that crust, cast out that musk, that is like a maligned cloud, that is still there at dusk.
Come,come,give yourself,yourself. Don`t sell out to the crew , that sail the wrong tide. Until you find that stream do bide.
That to find, that bliss! For you,no longer to hide.

I won't comment on grammar, spelling, etc, as it's not like I have any idea about that myself....
...I like the nudge in the ribs, the imagery - it reminds me of the New Orleans poet Ishmael Reed. Welcome to WriteStuff and 'write on'.

Ishmael Reed's novels and poetry are not so easy to get hold of in the UK. His most enduring effort was a musical group called 'Conjure' that made two albums, with noted jazz and blues musicians putting his poetry to music. I don't think it was ever transferred to CD, but you may be able to source the vinyl. The two albums were:
'Music for the texts of Ishmael Reed', c.1984
'Cab Calloway stands in for the moon', c.1988
Write on.

Hello... I took up the suggestion that I would like this... and I do... The idea of reclaiming yourself, valueing yourself and becoming yourself, presumably more fully in the processs... "For you, no longer to hide", for you to shine.
I could probably discuss endlessly the ins and outs of depression, the journey back to the light, and the importance of self-acceptance and the apprieciation of life etc. I find it fascinating... The mind etc. but I won't go on...
Thankyou for the suggestion, it is a wonderful image, pearls of wisdom.
Emma,x.
