Pressure

Nothing in this world is created hard

But pressure over time

Proves that what it was

Is compound and power

Joined to create a force

That breaks us down..

And pressure busts pipes..

But also creates diamonds

Because hard times

Make us hard

But If you properly wear those scars

Baby, You start shining.

That’s how I define it

Finding diamonds is rare

Because, most times pressure

Leaves us scared to

Experience moments

That break our smiles

And turn our bright eyes into

Uncomfortable stares,

And…

Most can’t withstand…

Because the pressure might’ve hardened us

But apart of us,

Needs to learn to turn

That slow burn

Into beautiful scars that’ll

Separate light from the dark.

Keep shining

Because pressure busts pipes

But baby, it also creates diamonds.
