Diamond in the rough

Needs a stage to shine

Hidden elegancy

Like kisses to the eyes

Persistent pressure

I know its hard to take

Carbon hardened beauty

Discovery’s chance unmeasured

Diamond in the rough

Like gleams with stars below the surface

Mud swept skin and vile pillows

Yet you take my attention’s day

Worth more than any house

More than any offer you find

A sight not created by human hands

God’s crafted gift he gad in mind

You say you don’t belong there

That may be true

But that pressure made you a diamond

Take your growth, pride to lose
