Diamond
As the tectonic plates of your world shifted around you
As the tectonic plates of your world shifted around you
Relentlessly scraping, pressing, molding
Swallowed up by the earth
Deep in the suffocating soil
Your heart felt all of its weight
The more they pressed in
Your supple soul toughened
Dense, sharp, clear
Internalized
Crystallized
A diamond
People look and say,
“Oh! So beautiful!”
Yes…
But little do they know.
Yes…
But little do they know.
A diamond
Oh…
So beautiful…
