Like a Diamond in the rough each cut bringing me closer. Closer to perfection. Fearing the rejection of the brilliance test. I do my best, but the rest won't come.

Deep and bright hold me up to the light. I'm reflecting, what little I see, Oh but suddenly, Now I realize. Before my eyes so true, what's making me shine all this time,
