Diamond

We all have the same envelope. Our bodies are different, but they look the same. Bodies are worthless. They mean nothing. The way the soul carries the body is infinitely more important. People carry themselves a certain way It is their tell People carry different hurts in life You can never know how a person has been wounded What type of weapon was used Where it struck How long it took to heal If it sealed itself shut If it is still sore from the blow If the wound reopens from time to time when no one is watching If any phantom pain rear its ugly head every now and then You can never know And for that reason Always hold a person like the most precious stone.
