Crystals for Home Protection, Two Stars


   



I wasn’t so lucky, and my pieces weren’t as beautiful.
I’ve tried the many kinds this company offers:
“Quit Smoking Gems,” “Pleasant Period,” “Teenager
Benevolence Crystals,” even “Bullying Support” when
he was younger. I’ve stopped some nasty habits
but from a fear of dying, rather than these rocks.
Sorry, I don’t mean to offend anyone who believes.
There’s just work to be done, most things are hard
and I’d like to be the force in charge of my life.
