What's life without struggles
What's fun without trouble
What's love without fight
What's a bark with no bite
I'm just a fish out of water, praying for my thirst to be quenched
I'm just a mermaid on an island, praying that a hero be sent
I'm just a merman out of his castle, my crown is still drenched
I feel so out of place, like the world is all against
I feel out of time,
I feel out of focus,
I feel lost yet clearly found ,
I feel a rush of emotions that even negativity can't surmount
But what's words with no conviction
What's promise with no commitment
What's actions that's aren't consistent
How do we know the difference
Between what's wrong and what's right
Between what's the truth and what's a lie
Without going through some sort of fight
An internal struggle, with you trying to capture the light
Gems go through a lot
But look at what was brought
Through the fire that lit my heart
I left behind the pain from the battles that I fought
Through the cuts that ran deep
The scars healed but the pain still creeps
Through the pressure that I substained
I wonder what exactly was it that my life had gained
This gemstone isn't a small rock though
I traded all my wealth for something more
I risked my health for something worth more
I dug dug deep into my core
And I found an Amber resting at its soul
I realized long ago people go through things in life
Questioning things about themselves
Reimagining those old dreams they have for themselves
In hope of finding something bigger than themselves
To grow a better appreciation for the things in life
To have a better appreciation for the ones in your life
The effect of it all is so bright
Like the sun's raining on your skin
Like the waters begging you to come in
See we're all just fish out of water
Looking for a river to flow in
Looking for an ocean to go in
Looking for something to belong in
And throughout our life
We may struggle to find our answers
Struggle to find our stone
But even though the world loves diamonds
Remember to love the amber that you own
