naz poetry spot

in the rough

who am i... i find i am

a diamond in the rough

look at me now just a piece of coal

look at me now just an un-cut stone

what you see as a scrub

is a diamond in the rough needing a good rub

i have no luster

a diamond in the rough

dirty and dull no brightness at all

give me time, to be cut by life's pain

give me time, to be polished by life's rain

then all my brilliance will shine through

to show my true value

to show my true colors

a diamond in the rough, no longer

with all my luster!

never underestimate how tough a diamond can be...
