The Unpolished Diamond

Beneath tons of rubble

There lay I

The most precious being on earth

Shall anyone choose me?

Shall I remain unnoticed?

Suddenly love is born!

I feel hope!

Suddenly put into a vice

Whammo – what was that? Someone just cracked my heart!

Why oh why, do bad things happen to good people

Anger, hence vengeance well inside me

And in my despair I turn existential

Why oh why God, have I suffered?!

“My precious diamond

It was truly I who created you

It was I who noticed you

It was I who loves you

But for you to shine

We must rid you of all those layers of rubble that seeped into your consciousness

In your broken heart you became like the earth

Capable of infinite growth!”
