You're a Gem of a Kind
A heart of gold on your sleeve
Which bleeds not red
But blue
Because you are a different soul
Soul of silver in your hand
Sterling
Never Fading, or turning colors
Hopes of Diamond in your heart
You hold them with such a conviction
No one can detour you
No one would dare to try
Even when things turn awry
You hold fast to your dreams
Beauty is only skin deep
But YOU'RE beautiful where it counts

&lrm;&quot;I&rsquo;m learning how to drown out the constant noise that is such an inseparable part of my life. I don&rsquo;t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world: I run my world.&quot; - Beyonc&eacute;
