to the core

i sometimes wonder
if we as humans
believe that if we
grasp tightly enough
to our fears,
our resentments,
our inadequacies;
i mean
really squeeze them
in fists of steel;
that somehow the
mounting pressure
combined with the
heat from our own
self-loathing
will transform those
imperfections and flaws
into diamonds.
