Black Diamond

This black diamond

This beautiful black diamond

Rare of the rarest

There's more to why I cherish

Such beauty that won't parish

Nothing can compare it

This beautiful black diamond of mines

Reveals my essence with every shine

This black diamond so beautifully

Belongs to no other except to me

It holds a piece of me

A piece of my mind

Where my darkest mysteries

Are even hard to find

Just as hard to comprehend

It could make anyone blind

Cause my memories and thoughts

Aren't even refined

This black diamond so beautifully

Belongs to no other except to me

It holds a piece of me

A piece of my body

My blood helps the shine

The color as dark as can be

My palms cradle the gem

Reflections I see

My beauty is captured

I gaze at the true me

This black diamond so beautifully

Belongs to no other except to me

It holds a piece of me

A piece of my heart

That harbors true feelings

I wish not to impart

My emotions can be hideous

To share would not be smart

To release it, I use it

As creative art

This black diamond so beautifully

Belongs to no other except to me

It holds a piece of me

A piece of my soul

That some might say

Is as black as coal

I question God

I question His goals

I struggle on the path

To be spiritually whole

This black diamond so beautifully

Belongs to no other except to me

Many others see

The happy side

That's considered the norm

Many others can't ride

With the other part

Of me deep inside

Cause of fear and ignorance

So in the gem, it hides

This black diamond so beautifully

Is more than a possession. It is me
