Pressure

 

All my diamonds

revert back to carbon,

under the pressure of my expectations.

 

It still surprises me after all these years.

even though I have a chest full of charcoal.

that is wonderful, the conciseness and brevity of it only adding to it's effect.

"All my diamonds revert back to carbon,under the pressure of my expectations."

Oh my, gives me a prickly sensation - your words.
They are so real. Descriptive.
Depressing.
Nice work.
