If I Were

IF I WERE...

If I were precious

I think to myself

If I were unique

I say to myself

There will be no pain for me

Only gain for me

I’ll tower over the rest

If I were a gem

They would stand and stare

Sparkling leaving them in awe

Only look but don’t touch

If I were a diamond

I’d be cut and black

But not like your hearts

I’d be rare and unseen

Something out of this world

If I were a pearl

I’d be in the depths of the ocean

No man could ever reach

So no one could ever hurt

No evil could ever touch

One day I’d be seen

And millions would vie

If I were a star

I’d be so far

Millions of light years away

All you would do is watch

I would be away from sadness

Glistening gently in your night sky

Sure to never let sorrow come my way

If I were all these things

Deep down inside I’d never be owned

The shine would never wane

A brightness blinding all

Invaluable. Eternal.

Untouchable. Unbreakable

Indestructible.
