Shine Bright Like A Diamond Poem by Suzanna C Chevalier

Red haired girl walks in the room
I smell her fragrant flowery perfume
Jumps on phone making all calls
I sit there in listen freezing off my ___.
Then she looks over at me
sees I’m freezing holding my hands to my knees.
Says to person on the phone
“This girl in here is humble and very sweet-
they have her in here where she doesn’t belong
then she starts to sing this popular pop song;
“Shine Bright Like A Diamond
Shine Bright Like A Diamond.”
I think that is sweetness to my ears
here is a girl singing in a place with tears.
She said she was scared not to knowing the time
She said she had OCD and
she was telepathic to her boyfriend’s mind.
I was so glad when she entered the room
she had on one small red shirt
and ripped pants with that was tattered too.
She said I had a calming effect on her
she would ask me from her phone
“How are you doing Boo? ”
I thought she was psychic, it rhymes with my name Sue.
She wrapped me in toilet paper really fast
I felt better, I was warm at last.
Then a little later they took her away
to another holding room for the rest of her stay.
She had been in there before
she was known I guess when she walked through the door.
