Marissa. A new school. New life.

You can cut the tension with a knife.

Old cheer captain and best friend.

But, now, notes and texts are all she can send.

She doesn’t know what to do, where to go.

The spot in her life right now is pretty low

She was popular before in her hometown,

All that lays on her face now is a frown.

She was a gem in a comfortable place,

Here, it’s an awkward moment and spac...

Paul scrambled over the wall, silently but still with more noise than he would have liked, and dropped onto the turf below. His information had been correct: there was food here for the taking. Like most thieves of the age, he was little interested in gold and valuables, more in food and those things which he could use. There were awful few pawn shops, and fewer that would buy jewelry from a di...

They say that pressure turns coal into diamonds

If that’s true then why’d you tell me to leave

Didn’t you know I’d go out and buy us a boat

Sail it using your name

So come back to me, my precious lover

Don’t let your heart stop your throat from calling my name

Let me be your diamond in the rough

These green eyes won’t ever appear the same

For whatever your heart desires I will give it to you

We’l...

A diamond

In the rough,

A light when the going gets tough.

In the dump

That is my life,

You are there

To get me through the strife.

The only reason

I can survive

Is because I have you,

My reason to be alive.

You shine bright

In this dull

World,

You make it whole.

You’re like the

Last flower

In a

Wilted field.

You’re like the

One splash of color

In a

Black and white photo.

_You shine brig...

Stay heavy my diamond.

Seek the ways you shine.

Head where you once ,a little coal.

Hear the echoes it told.

Stop the spikes that grow.

Hold on ,to your soul.

You will realise in the end.

The story that’s once yours.

Will you try one day to see?.

The paths that waves through the sea.

Shining through.

Reflecting you.

To see the diamond you can be.

After all ,every diamond starts as a little coal.

Oh dear Diamond In the Rough you drive me crazy. I can’t stop laughing at your jokes or looking at your beauty. oh so shiny oh so pure. Such a pure soul that I can’t wait to ruin the purity of. I’m a Basalt rough and dark. Your a diamond smooth and shiny. My roughness in your diamond heart is the perfect combo. **Oh I can’t wait to ruin your purity.**...

Anna Marie Stewart was said to be one of the richest, most spoiled brats in the world. That was, until, she met Jasper Knight.

Anna had everything she ever dreamed of. She lived in a huge house on top of a hill with her father, Gabriel, and her older brother, Theodore. She had a very good education, and she was tended to by her own personal maids.

But Anna wanted more. Ever since she was a lit...

[Yes, I know that the IMSA VP does not work like this. Yes, I have driven rally cars. Enjoy the story.]

You’re not _really_ a rally racer. Well, you could be, but it’s nothing like how it was in the 80’s. Too much safety. Not enough speed. It’s why you race for IMSA VP, where they have a million useless sponsors and’ll take anyone who wants a big silver trophy and can drive a fancy car.

(I am drawing inspiration from Aladdin)

A diamond is hard to find

They are precious

So you never expect

They often lay in the dirt

In fact, diamonds are forged

From rock and heat

Under pressure

They become their best

Some are evil

Some are good

Some are both

I suppose some are none at all

Steal an apple

You’re a thief

Steal a kingdom

You’re a statesman

A quote from someone

Who though...

Diamond

Find him

Not meant

He’s spent

A little fixing

Try mixing

Sophistication

And dedication...
