Diamond In The Rough

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 space.

She’s in a rough spot, and doesn’t know how to handle it.

Maybe she’ll get used to it in a little bit…
