Blood Diamond

Dripping shards, seeing the fall, you're becoming a Blood Diamond, though nothing can be done.

Blood Diamond

Although I’m of a shadow

No one to know

Of course to you

As I’m watching you fall through

Your glimmer, at first, seemed right

Or at least knowing,

Not this

No, the sight now is

Crushed!

Cracks running through

Society’s core, it’s melting, a beautiful shell

Now, once, existent

You!

Of personality

Unknown potential!

Here comes the ‘IF’

If I’d’ve reached out my hand to you

Under that shattering self.

If I’d’ve reached out my knowledge to you

Under that thick idea of ‘I can’t be myself’

Here is the maybe

Yourself wouldn’t be broken and scattered

Maybe! You wouldn’t be lost and fitted

As a perfect piece of puzzle

Yourself wouldn’t be buried under the ideas

Maybe! Conformity wouldn’t incase you!

You could’ve been different,

Then again,

You’d fit my puzzle in your own mind

This puzzle doesn’t exist of mine

So, maybe this was fate,

Blood Diamond, I watch you bleed

I watch each shard

From dimming, to crack, clamor

To your mentor

Wrong one!

Shuddering, shaking, unable to hold

The glassy texture floods to red

Cracks now coming, a shiver runs through

Yes, I feel this too

Knowing, waiting, so much,

Hatred and lust for my placement of torture

Fate has trapped me to this view

It’s why I try not to talk to you

Watching these pieces, shards to the floor

Blood pouring out the inner core

The cracks fill in once dried

Sharding places are your black hole

Spaces

Enlaid to this script is the ,

Blood Diamonds story

It belongs to no One

Though some many

My friend, my enemy, even acquaintance or reader!

I trust you’re reading this seriously

I shudder with shrill shocks to my spine

As this I write,

My memories are vaguely flooding through

I’ve been told, ahh, many times, how we grow apart

I can say fate’s destiny is truly demise’s Requiem

So I’ll finish, as Davey said “  It won’t be alright despite what they say. Just watch the stars tonight as they disappear, disintegrate.”

And my dear, Blood Diamond! your shards look as falling stars.

Author's Note

This is based off people I knew who have done whatever they can to fit into society or are forced into a mould which isn't correct to exist. I know many can relate to this, however I've not many times been able to or have helped those in need of such a guidance for I had no place, or so I was told. The poem is simply my outcry to those in the case that I now am better knowing and able to help those in this case. Since I hate when this happens and can't be helped Blood Diamond is simply a personification to a person who is in this placement and what I see happen to them. And if you know anybody, please copy the url and send it to them ;)

Don't u just want to throw those puzzle pieces down and yell "screw you society!" Ahhh I'm sick of all the lying, the faking, the desperation to fit in. Lord to I have a few people in mind when I read this. On a better note, great job

[quarintine_deathangel]

I'm really glad you related to my writing and felt the emotion! I have reconciled with some of the people who I've found to be Blood Diamonds in my life and want to help those type of people find themselves. You should totally read 'A Prophecy to the Coming' I think you might enjoy it. Thankyou very much for reading and reviewing :)
