Diamond in the Rough, by Invisible Poet Subscribe to rss feed for Invisible Poet

the world will knock you down
the masses will cast you out
you reach for a hand, they watch you drown
your useless to them, unless filled with doubt

your hard outer shell 
is not as strong, as whats inside
and when your soul is free of the prison cell
you will see that the world lied

you are not worthless
not some dim witted fool
poeple will fight and contest
will lay at your feet awaiting your rule

you are the hero of which we dream
hidden within each and everyone of us
the shiny pebble floating within the stream
a preciousness hidden in the grime and dust

the world will pin the blame on you
for making everyones life so tough
within each other we have found it to
we are each others diamond in the rough

I absolutely love this poem. I really needed to hear this, and though you didn't write it for me, I thankyou so much.
