Pressure


This pressure from within, so without

Unable to decipher where it all began

Choices I made

Or others’ decisions I forgave?

Wanting it all for everybody

Throughout the process became nobody

Personal opinions no longer profound

So I hid them underground

What once shined bright

Covered by the darkness of night

Fear of persecution

Or not being “right”

Wish now back then I had this insight

Diamonds are formed under pressure

You always surpassed their weight

No amount of Karat

Can be measured to the merit, strength and quality you equate.

One response to “Pressure”

  1. Very true and hard to step out of the shadows. Knowing your worth is far more valuable then shrinking yourself for others.
