Poetry / Diamond

Maybe I am inconsistent, complicated, and at times rebellious
Maybe I am self absorbed to the point of arrogance
Sometimes I have a bad attitude and can be rude and crude
But I need to iterate what else I am so that you don’t completely misconstrue
What I am is a diamond. Let me say why to you
I’m layered with contours and corners that dazzles and shines like the equinox sky
Every element in existence waxed and waned me like the moon at night
And harvest me to a substance with the hardest graphite
All to give me the right to be universally respected
And since you seem to accept how this life goes back and forth
Displaying everythng from the angelic and romantic, to the murderer and hell breathed heretic
How you gonna tell me I can’t show my gamut?
That I can’t make the grade? That I’m too erratic because I show light and shade? I’m a diamond. That’s how I’m made.
Yeah, maybe I can be disheveled, and indecisive and unrealistic
But those are only the small cracks and flaws of me
Yet that’s all what you want to see and judge me and perceive for what you want to believe
That’s just a bad calculation from your warped psychosis and malnourished diagnosis
So thank God you ain’t God, if you were I be through
As well as anything else that isn’t like you
Not to say that what you say isn’t true
You just don’t know why so you don’t have a clue
Because those same cracks and flaws taught me to manifest every face of geometry
I mastered the arc, I perfected the isosceles, so that my talents can be a cut called brilliant
I enlightened and inspired the minds of those lost inside, and help them find their way to being radiant
And for the ladies, I copied the pyramids and brought its immaculate to fit in your hand
To let you know you’re always gonna be my princess
What else enables you to hold rainbows in your hands, by having me in front of the sun, so I can dissect its light?
I’m the reason why you can see beyond black and white
I’m the one the distracts you from your own self loathing blight
I’m the one that show that misery loves company, I rather be by myself and stay the ultimate currency
I’m a diamond
Maybe I am confrontational, and selfish and hard headed, and don’t know my place
Maybe I do always have something slick to say. Maybe I am very abrupt
And because of this, I’ve withstand the artic rampages and the lava pits
I went toe to toe with the supernovas and survived the wilderness
I shook the dirt off when people said I wasn’t shit
Besides, I never believed you and your Judas kiss, long ago you been dismiss
I seen it all before, I’ve been around for so long the mountains are kin to me
And still new as the twinkle of a child’s eye
I think that’s what you’re really mad about, that I don’t give your opinion any clout
I’m a child of the Most High, that’s the truth for ya
You want a lie, go mess with a Cubic Zirconia
I’m a diamond
And all I am is a fragment of everything that is
Perfect and imperfect at the same time, natural and heavenly, surreal and sublime
But you still have me confused, and not to say that what you say isn’t true
You just don’t know why so you don’t have a clue
And through this whole thing, you thought I was talking only about me
I also reflect, I was talking about you too
