Diamond Child

She's misunderstood
She gets picked apart
Everyday is a struggle
I try to say things get easier
But I know it sounds hollow

Mark my words, it gets easier
Most cliches are true

You're the diamond child
But they only see the coal
I know, everything is wild
For kids like us, it's just the way things go

Can we just forget the world?
Can we just let them destroy it?

No one can take the pressure like you can
No one can take the heat like you can
No one can hurt you. Thick skin
Only one that can hurt you is within
I know it's easier said than done
I know it always feels like they've won
I know no one knows your frustration
Trust me friend I've been where you've been

She said
"Take all my silver and gold
Please just leave me alone"
