Diamond

Born from the dark where silence stayed,
A spark of time in pressure laid.
You learned to shine by learning pain,
Each crack a verse, each scar a gain.

The world may try to dull your gleam,
Call you fragile, call you a dream.
But light obeys your hidden fire,
Bending itself to your desire.

You do not beg the night for grace,
You cut through doubt, you hold your place.
A steady glow, precise, profound,
Worth more than crowns the world has found.

So stand unbroken, clear, and true — 
The dark was only shaping you.
For hearts that dare and souls that climb
Are always forged like you: a diamond.
