here's a shovel, start digging

i can be

kind,

or cruel, impatient,

loving

and rude.

i've got it all in me.

name

a sin,

name a trouble.

you won't have to dig

far

to find the worst

of me,

the dirt floor,

the rubble.

but i think

there's a diamond

in there too.

and if you stick around

long enough,

and dig hard, 

maybe you'll see

a little of that shine

coming through.
