A True Treasure

(poems go here) A True Treasure Hidden you are Waiting to be found Covered by the dirt The rocks Can’t breath Cannot even make a sound But yet You shine through it all Rise back up Every time you fall Buried alive You cry out but But no one ever seems to hear your call There you are trapped Surrounded, consumed By earths everyday problems Hoping to escape But only to find yourself Deeper in the dirt Than you were before Not being able to control the rain Watching it begin its daily routine Washing away all of your hopes and dreams Making it impossible For you to one day achieve Although through it all You held on Kept your head up You stood strong Knowing that no treasure Stays buried forever You arose through all the dirt That had you tightly bound As you broke your way Up through that indurated, asphyxiated ground I see you as a treasure One that could never be Mistaken as just something To glance at for one’s pleasure I hold you in great esteem Knowing that with you Impossible ! No longer defines our dreams I’ll come out a treasure As you did No matter how bad Right now might seem Daily I pray Strive to be half the woman you are Maybe even someone’s treasure one day!
