Diamonds and pearls

♡ POEMAHONTAS ♡ POEMADONNA ♡

Damaged throughout life
Yet, I'm still here
My back there's a knife
But there's no tears

Bruised and broken
Far beyond repair
My eyes are open
Life is never fair

Humans have less value
Than diamonds of the world
But only the wounded oysters
Can ever form a pearl
