The Best Poem Of Paul Turner

Flawed Diamond

Before you were developed
Something happened in life
An event that caused you
To be set like a flawed diamond,

All that happened then
Everything you sensed
Became burned in your soul
So the die was set,

Later in the life you live
Conditions combined
And brought you back there
To where it began,

An emotional event
Similar to the first
Causes you to react
As then you did,

Notice why you react
The thoughts at the time
It's not your fault
Just a state of mind,

Repair the flaw
Go back and recall
What happened then and
Change what it means,

Be like an artist
Create your new you
The past is the past
Be like a cut diamond.
