Poem/Diamond

I heard pressure makes diamonds
So why am I still spotless.

Instead of shining bright
I'm dimming with the night
And the only glow I show
Is when the stars shine from above.

I'm far from a diamond
I would never taint it name and reputation
I'm more sliver than gold
Clearly my confidence is not that bold..

I will just settle for a pearl
I'm not like most guys
I'm just a bird with no wings
I let the wind pull at my strings
Wondering when I might be freed
For all my misdeed.

I'm just a Pearl
Don't expect anything more
Or less
I hope I'm good for you
I hope I satisfy your hunger
And quench your thirst.

Our lives are thin and could end anytime
And people may change with the weather
But diamond will last forever

I don't shine
I spark
Temporarily glistening

And my shadow go wherever I go
Until the moon changes shift with the sun
And my heart changes shift with my mind..
