Diamond

Here is a poem I wrote for my Personal Achievement class. I turned this in as a Personal Mission Statement, but it came out as a poem of sorts. I guess that's just what my heart wanted for the assignment. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy.

Diamond

by Rebekah Phillips

I am a diamond.

I change under pressure.

If it wasn’t for the worst,

Then could I get better?

If it weren’t for ink,

Could I have changed?

If I weren’t covered in faults,

Could I have been refined?

Through trials and hard places,

I found comfort in familiar faces.

I turned bad into good;

I turned can’t into could.

Starting as coal

Changed due to weather,

I am a diamond.

I change under pressure.
