Diamond
By atia
Consider yourself a diamond in the rough Every gash the world throws at you Will only make you brighter Will only fill you up with light, Will only make you shine, Will only define you, Make you into the person You were meant to be. So what if it doesn’t work? Know you, have you, love you Love life, Love the width and breadth of it But love. Love every scratch that leaps Upon your skin Every look that rests Upon your mind. Did you think it would be simple? Welcome to the world of fools! Can you feel yourself falling? Just as I did And do everyday… Perhaps someday the fatalism, The idealism, Will all come to mean a thing or two, And we shall be cut To fit in…His name is Diamond but this is not for him. This is for me... This is everything that I have learnt because I know it can never be. Written April 9th, 2002 © on Apr 09 2002 10:15 AM PST 18 • 0 • 10
