Diamond in the Rough

I am a diamond in the rough that has not been polished and is still uncut.

There have been many times I've been overlooked.

There have even been times that I have been picked up and thrown back down.

I was mistaken for being just another stone.

My true value remains unknown.

I am still in my original state, the same state I've been in since I pushed my way up through many layers of earth.

There is more to me than what someone might expect in a diamond because I have not been cut and polished yet.
