For so many years life has been dirty, grimy, pressure all around me
No one to pick me up, no one to dust me off
I sparkle so bright letting my light shine through
People only see my flaws and therefore try to sale me cheap
I know my worth
Cause from my mother's womb I was told I am blessed
So don't fret, don't worry this diamond will survive
I will wipe the dirt off and prepare myself for the setting that will appreciate and compliment this diamond in the ruff you left behind....By Reese
