A diamond will shine.

Yessss

I'm talking of the cliched 

"A diamond shines wherever"

But in a quasi pessimistic approach.

A girl is the diamond.

She's kept inside the four wall nest

Hoping to luster bright enough 

To make the patriarchs smile.

A woman is the diamond,

She wants to be a singer 

But her inherent skill to shine 

Makes it look like she can do anything.

The husband said,

Feeding and looking after "our" kids

Is her ultimate goal

But they suddenly became all "hers" 

When they made a mistake.

When the nest fell apart,

It was the diamond that was blamed.

Her sharp edges cut through 

The brittle straws they said.

"The diamond lost her sparkle it seems"

Said the ones that covered her in sordidity.

But still she shines through,

Learning, no re-learning 

To shine for herself.

The diamond picked up singing 

Right where she left it

She didn't become a sensational pop star

But she became the best singer

To "hers"
