A pearl hated by men
Rare gem ignored by all
A noble forsaken by beings
Eyed with contempt and disdain
Resented by family
Treated with revulsion by friends
Trampled by foes
Slurred by her teachers
Scorned by her neighbors
All causing a heartbreak
Her gentle heart eaten like a horse
Fed with the forbidden fruit
The fruit of anger and bitterness
But trying to remember her Saviour
Who repays evil with good always
Just like he was despised by men
Before becoming their Lord
She needs more refining
Such as gold before shining
Or should I call her a raw gold
Stained with mud
Or sparkling apparel wrapped
With an unusual dull package
She is just a despised jewel
Going through a purifying stage
A stain diamond requiring cleansing
Her end is glamorously desired by all
A beautiful role model.
