Diamond

Missy H.
How long will a diamond
hold your attention
Does everyone look different
or the same
Does every diamond look flawless
Is this intriguing

Am I intriguing
because I sparkle like diamonds
Do you see me as flawless
Can I grab and hold your attention
Is everyone else the same
or am I different

Would being different
make me intriguing
or do you like things the same
What do you think shines like a diamond
and what holds your attention
Do you marvel at things that are flawless

I am not always amazed by something flawless
It is good for everyone to be different
If you pay close attention
you may see something very intriguing
I think something can sparkle without being a diamond
shining because it is not the same

I would not enjoy being the same
Would you like me if I was flawless
or would I shine like diamonds
by being different
Would the differences make me intriguing
or would something else steal your attention

Will you pay attention
though I am not the same
Would you see me as intriguing
though I am not flawless
Would you like that I was different
though I may not sparkle like a diamond

Am I too much the same or too different
Am I intriguing enough to hold your attention
or would I only be a diamond if I were flawless
