Diamonds


Ladies, I have a question ! 

Why is everyone trying to be a DIAMOND? 

Why is everyone trying to be something so RARE, so BEAUTIFUL, so UNIQUE.

Yet, We are comfortable climbing a mountain never reaching it's peak. 

We're comfortable with Make-up,

A voice but never speaking up, 

Heels six-inches high, Grades just to get you by.

And we think we winnin by havin alotta friends and showing too much skin, 

But Diamonds need Beauty, Diamonds need Attention and Diamonds always feel like we Have Somethin Missin

But see Diamonds shine without light even when it's formed out of sight 100 hundred miles below the surface just to get it close to perfect

This Diamond was once a rock
Unpopular, Lame No where Near Fame

Never the first choice by guys because I didn't have thick Thighs 

Never fit in with the crowd because I NEVER saw the point  in trying to make rocks proud 

This Diamond is thankful though for the struggle, hate and Strufe

It produced a Diamond with the classiest life.
