It's Perfect

Life haven't been so good at me.
Struggles so hard.
Failures too painful.
Sadness so tough.

I've tried to understand,
Life wasn't perfect.
Sorrow and failure,
little parts of it.

This heart I have,
hardened as diamond.
Strong indeed,
and hard to be broken into pieces.

But remember my friend,
Even diamonds can be broken.
Hard may be soften,
and difficult may be eased.

After all, I realized,
Struggles and Challenges
make Life perfect.
For a diamond not polished
is precious yet IMPERFECTLY adorable.

Life?
Yes! It's perfect.

Sorry, I wrote this while I'm in a certain dilemma. It's what we're calling writer's block. So please bear with me. Thank you:)

This is very beautiful. Your words shine through like diamonds in your poem. Reflections from your heart. The strength inside this poem outweighs all. I can tell you have more strength then you know. It's beautiful. The world around you plays across your own thoughts. Beautiful. Your poem is perfection. Your words softly, and gently caress the edges so hopefully. Twisting and twirling like soft snowflakes through summer skies. Bringing a change of life, a thirst needed, filled. Your words awake the demons inside and cure their evil diseases. Living and breathing again. Ever so gracefully and beautifully. Your heart portrays the most difficult moments and defies the ever so innocent. Beautiful. Absolutely wonderful writing. :)

a diamond is made perfect by all the abuse it has endured, its sides polished to perfection by rough grainy sands it comes out so beautiful and very strong in the end
be strong and shine bright like a diamond :D

Nice realization. There are times when you think life is so unfair but in the end, everything has a purpose. It's just one thing for you to realize that bad situations happens to all people to strengthen also their spirituality. Anyway, I like this poem much. Great work!

I thought maybe the first line could be tweaked a bit, other than that I thought it was a wonderful poem. I especially love the Diamond analogy.
