She is insecure.

About her face

About her body

What she says

And how she says it.

She goes through life

Pleasing whomever she can

So she can know that

She is doing something right.

But why?

Why put on a mask?

Why should she care

Weather she fits the “standards”

Of this unforgiving world?

Because everyone

Every single person

Every single incredibly valuable person

is made

For a specific purpose.

She is the way she is

For a reason.

For a specific reason.

For an important reason.

So she will not be ashamed

Of who she is

For she knows who she will become.

Because she is

100% sure

that this diamond of a girl

will be golden.

This piece is about being proud of who you are and who you are becoming. I got the inspiration for this poem when I was told that I wasn't good enough. From this piece, I hope that people will get that they are valuable and truely golden.
