Diamond In the Rough

I may break, I may bend, I may not be The greatest friend. I say mean things, Sometimes I'm rude. Don't always have The best attitude. A stubborn streak That holds on tight. To break it, Is a constant fight. I make mistakes, But life is tough. After all, I'm still a Diamond in the rough.
