In the Rough
To punish me for my contempt to authority, fate made me an authority myself.
~Albert Einstein~
A moment to breathe
That’s all I need but
Constant upheaval
Is all that I see.
Change, grow, produce, show
All the pressures put on me.
In the dirt the diamonds grow
Until one day they are released.
~I.S.~
