Diamonds and Demolition
Life in a person's bare, warm hands,
I count the scars that refuse to not stand
I see the crevices of dirt, mud, and brown
In that town I see the watery eyes of those who should hold crowns
From a days' trouble to tomorrows' work, I see a champion who should be king
Pressure from others who rather scream fire,
Yet cause it
Bring to boil the person's true red
Pain, anger, and crimson in eyes who have stories that are unsaid
I am an artist, who paints my own picture,
I can see your colors clear as daylight on your journey
Clarity is to be clear
The pressure was of a black storm with clouds of gray
Fire caused an orange scarlet glaze
You were blue and crimson inside,
Yet the times turned due to the tides
Winds blew white, and blew black, and gray around
Then I saw a twinkle in that town
I saw you stood strong, stood tall as ever
A new you was born
Clear and strong, you turned unbreakable
You were a diamond
