To all the diamonds in the rough in this world, I dedicate this book. Shine on and sparkle in your own unique way. Dont run with the crowd or feel the need to blend. Just be you! Its not always the ones with the glam and glitter who try to outshine everyone else but the silent, the subdued, the peaceful ones comfortable in their own skin who are the true diamonds in the rough. My first poem, Diamonds in the Rough, is all about finding out your true grit. To quote a few lines from my poem, Youre the gems that dont glitter, / youre the gems that dont shine. / One day youll be discovered hidden in the mine.
