“shine Bright Like A Diamond” Poem by SQC Chevalier

Red haired girl walks in the holding room
I smell her fragrant flowery perfume
Jumps on phone making all calls
I sit there listening freezing off my ___.
Then she looks over at me
sees I’m freezing holding my hands to my knees.
Says to person on the phone
“This girl in here is humble and very sweet-
They have her in here where she doesn’t belong
then she starts to sing this popular pop song;
“Shine Bright Like A Diamond
Shine Bright Like A Diamond.”
I think that is sweetness to my ears
here is a girl singing in a place with tears.
She said she was scared not to knowing the time
She said she had OCD and
she was telepathic to her boyfriend’s mind.
I was so glad when she entered the room
she had on one small red shirt
and ripped pants with that was tattered too.
She said “What are in for my dear? ”
I said I was accused of scratching a lady who was insincere.”
She said “Where is the DNA?
I don’t see it on your nails” is what she said right away.
Then she said I had a calming effect on her
Later she would ask me from her phone
After she told her boyfriend she was going home.
“How are you doing are you warm yet Boo? ”
I thought she was psychic,
Her nickname rhymes with my name Sue.
She wrapped me in toilet paper really fast
I felt better, I was warm at last.
Then a little later they took her away
to another holding room until she went upstairs to stay.
I knew she had been in there before
she was known I guess
when she walked through the door.
