Unveiled
That girl has had it rough.
The glow fading from her face like a dimming light.
Going through treatments, she’s been tough,
each day putting on her gloves to fight.
A diamond in the rough…
A boy that takes a stand,
letting the silent voices sing.
Giving those stuck in sand
a chance to find their wings.
A diamond in the rough…
Through trying times there you are.
You don’t buckle or run to hide.
In difficult situations, you are not far.
Wanting to win, a victory by your side.
A true diamond in the rough.
