0 deannaart Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I would say you. This is supposed to be a metaphor, representing something else... If you want some idea as to how these work, check out some of my other riddles/metaphors. Sorry, not the right answer, though. Happy riddling!!!!!

Sorry it is so perplexing. Maybe i made the little hints too subtle. We'll see how this goes for a while... As foe your answer, it is not right, but you might be thinking somewhere in it's direction.

0 deannaart Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 being in a bad/abusive relationship and finally getting out.

0 deannaart Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 being pregnant, then having the baby Great guess, but doesn't really fit the 3rd and 4th line of the poem... So, not it. Sorry! girl on her Sweet 16th Birthday...becoming a young lady This is a fantastic answer. It fits very well. It is unfortunately not the direction I am going with this one, though... Maybe another verse might be needed. so far, no one has been really close. There are a few key words hidden in the text that give it away, but maybe too subtle...Hmmm.

0 deannaart Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) a secret love being let out? or an affair perhaps. Ok...Secret love being let out is closer than you think, because it is not in the way you are thinking. maybe venture down this avenue a bit... as for the second answer, not on the right side of the tracks. Keep trying!!! Edited July 20, 2009 by deannaart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
deannaart
The geode sits among the rocks
Then is put into a box
Outside it fits the status quo
But what's inside no one knows
Till one day it breaks apart
Revealing what's in it's heart
The beautiful crystals for all to see
Feeling that it's been set free
No longer must it sit and hide
But instead it may shine with pride
It sits there, open to the world
It's true self finally unfurled
