diamonds are beautiful

but they are also strong

I’m no diamond, though

some say I’m pretty

they don’t mean it

the ones who criticize mean it

if they care enough

to say something mean

they probably mean it

I’m not strong, not even a little

not physically

nor mentally

I’ve tried the gym

but I don’t eat enough protein

all the effort I put in

doesn’t matter

whatever I do doesn’t matter

I cry too much

over stupid little things

like this

just like this

I’m no diamond

but you’re a jewel

how can you care

care about me

it doesn’t make sense

and I won’t survive

if you break my heart

gosh, please don’t break my heart

I’m fragile, I’m weak

I wear my heart on my sleeve

I used to

now it’s yours

please just be careful

be gentle

I’m no diamond

but please treasure me
