rock

no man is one

nor an island
they say

but a rock
is no man either

I learned this
today

not every stone
hides a diamond
at it's core

and nor all rock
is sprung
from the same
golden ore

a rock
draws no breath

and even those few
that hides
what we seek

will not let it
shine through

no man is a rock

they all bleed
just like me

but somebody
please

tell me why
they should be

. . . But poets rock!

I like your writing, but this poem reads like it might have skipped the editor's desk.

"and nor all rock"

I might suggest "and not all rock" or "nor is all rock"

"at it's core"

"it's" should be "its"

"that hides"

"hides" wants to be "hide"

"tell me why

they should be"

Your last line ends in an ellipsis ("a rock" is understood.)

If you were to change "they" to something like "that" it might make a stronger/broader statement.
