My Diamond Heart Poem by Dyhanara Rios

The fire burns bright inside
Unleashed with a steam of carbon dioxide
When there’s no hope for humanity
Or a shred of my sanity.

I refuse to let anyone try
To break me down to a pitiful cry;
But I just can’t help myself;
Chasing lust,
My heart crumbles to dust.

Through everything and anything,
I still stand strong.
I am cheerful, not fearful
I’ll write a poem or a song.
Even when the sorrow gets old,
My heart is made of diamond:
Beautiful, unbreakable, and cold.

The fire inside
Which burns with passion
And yearns for revenge
Shaped my once coal heart
Into the cold, unbreakable beauty
It is today.
