Diamond in the rough

by rosiemunch

I've been through a lot. Sometimes it takes someone to point out that its all the things you've been through that defines you and makes you beautiful. Sure it can be sad, it can hurt so much you beg for death, but then you realise... you're like a diamond. Becoming more refined by the day. Sure you have battle scars, sure you feel like you lost a lot of yourself... but carry on!

Diamond in the rough
How coarse and clouded
Hidden in the earth
buried and shrouded
Light is shone upon you
nods in approval
If anyone can stun them
heaven knows you will
So off to the refinery
You are whisked away
burnt, sliced and cut
shine in bright of day
You weep "I am ugly
and these cuts are scars
I'll never be the same
I miss the rough and dark"
But a voice doth come
"No little one, why don't you see?
This is what life is,
one big refinery.
The cuts make you unique
The burns make you shine
and one day you'll be picked
Someone will say 'you're mine'
For now, little diamond
let your process run
because you will be most beautiful
When the refining is done."

If you EVER feel like giving up, go out and ACTIVELY find something to live for. Not someone, because people change. Focus on you and what you can do to make you better. Never give up without a fight and know that you are a beautiful diamond of priceless worth.
