Black Diamond
I want to tell a story of a girl by
the name of Diamond.
As a child she was often made
fun of ,by the neighborhood kids.
Because she was really skinny
and she wore huge glasses.
They made fun of her ebony
skin as well.
If it wasn't for loving parents
it would have crushed her soul.
Her parents often told her that
she was beautiful.
She remembers her moma's
words to this day"It aint what
they call you it's what you answer
to".But once she went through
that awkward phase,
She grew into a beautiful woman.
Diamond became a famous
model,and nolonger a diamond
in the rough.
