Diamond

 At times I feel that I am stuck 

A mixture of crazy glue, gum, and sticky tape on my life keeping me from moving forward

What I want, at times I can see it 

But I can't reach it 

I lift My feet to move 

But it sticks right back to the ground

Stuck in the same spot for years 

No process

Maybe it is more like quicksand

The more I try to move, I fall deeper in

I try to move, and I fall deeper into failure 

Do I stop trying to break free because I fall deeper 

Giving up can't be the answer

For even at my darkest time 

I know I wasn't alone 

God is with me

Always there 

Helping me and protecting me

Yes, I may feel stuck 

To other people, it looks like I am

But maybe I am hidden 

Until God wants to reveal 

The treasure in me

The gifts and talents I have 

Perhaps I am not stuck or sinking

But just waiting for my blessings

Maybe I am like a diamond

A diamond takes years to form

Has to be put under tough conditions

For I know, I felt the heat and been put under pressure

But one day, this once coal 

Will be a diamond!!
