DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH

DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH

We’re like two multi faceted diamonds

Many layers and many angles.

Two beautiful charm bracelets 

with bright sparkling dangles.

Being in our heads sometimes

Can be so hard to handle.

Like running out of breath

When blowing out a candle.

Attempting to survive this world

When there is so much that can trigger.

Willing to always try to be

The person that is bigger.

Never try to outshine someone

Though we will always strive to glow.

With our matching gifts of empathy

We’re always in the know.

You might think I’m fascinating

But in truth I think it’s you.

Fitting all our puzzle pieces

That we often want to glue.

You and I were supposed to meet

Our paths were meant to cross.

But if you choose to walk away

Then we will both be at a loss.

So embrace all of your feelings

That you have tried to keep compressed.

Release your inner demons

And I promise you’ll be blessed.

So let’s walk this path together

We don’t ever have to hurry.

Because when we have each other’s backs

We help with all the worry.

We might be diamonds in the rough 

But we’ll sort through all the layers.

The soul connection that we share 

Is the answer to our prayers.

So let’s accept our inner sparkle

Show the world how much we shine.

I'm grateful for a friend like you

So happy that you’re mine.
