Drop a Diamond

In a world of darkness I try to drop diamonds in my rhymes I hope you pick them up and use it to shine I hope you take my gems and keep them in your mind When I drop a diamond I hope you use it to shine We don't always get the hand we want and sometimes it'd be quicker to fold But you should play the hand, because everything that glitters ain't gold You can take something ugly and turn it into something beautiful Every sad story needs a hero to rise up and deliver the hope We all go through hard times, no one said it would be easy I was bullied and held hostage by depression, but it couldn't beat me I've fell over before, and gained scars as the blood leaves me Love is blind, so I understand why she said she shouldn't see me That was her first impression from what she heard, not knew If people go by word of mouth, they'll always think the worst of you She got to know me and realised I was worth the chance It may not have worked out, but it was her favourite dance I enjoyed it too, and accepted that we just didn't work My mind travels, often I think of the perfect rhymes for a different verse Just like life sometimes makes us meet the right person at the wrong time I've made mistakes, but I've got a courageous heart and strong mind My heart shines so I don't need jewels My mistakes teach me lessons so I don't need school I think my words through and I write to inspire The only ones who will understand are the ones with a fighting desire In a world of darkness I try to drop diamonds in my rhymes I hope you pick them up and use it to shine I hope you take my gems and keep them in your mind When I drop a diamond I hope you use it to shine
