Because I am strong, forged in
the pressures of struggle and birth,
of needing to fight for
personal worth.
Because I am pure, unblemished
by color, fault, vice, hurt,
jealousy, pride. . .
because I sparkle.
Because I will last this way forever.
Because I will scatter light wherever
I go, bringing reflection, refraction,
and brilliance.
Because I like to think I am a diamond.
