POEM STARTER

Submitted by Maranda Quinn

Write a story or poem which could be titled ‘Diamond in the Rough’.

What themes might this phrase bring to mind?

A Letter to the Me Inside

It breaks not when it falls

To the unknown, it calls

Its shine is pale and mute

Still an unripe fruit

A diamond, unshaped

Formless and ashamed

Her light slumbers

So she knows not its wonders

She is a desert flower

Oblivious of her power

Made to think she‘s dull

When in truth she‘s not at all

Sometimes she forgets

How alive she‘s inside, frets

That her light is not enough

And she‘s hungry for love

But I will always be there

To remind her, to care

Beacause she

Is me

Look with your eyes, and you‘ll see

There‘s so much more that you can be

Don‘t wait until others find

How beautiful you are inside

For a diamond in the rough

Is not where it stops

Make your own shape

And call it your fate
