Diamond In the Rust

Glowing Brightly In the morning sun A little boy Picks it up Cleans it off by using his shirt Holds it to the sun And it twinkles He just got lucky Being a diamond in the rust Finally happy for once After issues with his family Telling him being gay Is a disgrace Just one moment Changes his mind from running away He has to stick it out Like this diamond Surrounded my dirt Still shining He has to be his own diamond Has to shine through the dirt and the crap Brush himself off And stand under the sun so God can see him shining
