I'm the Diamond - Poem by: Gwang Jin

I'm the Diamond 

Good day everyone! :)

Today, I would like to share with you a poem, written by Gwang Jin. I heard this poem during the Kdrama called: Itaewon Class available on Netflix, which I recommend to everyone to watch, as its truly inspiring series.

...so is the poem below which I somehow related to:

I'm the Diamond

"I’m a rock. 

Go ahead and sear me. 

 I won’t budge an inch because I’m a rock. 

Go ahead and beat me up. 

I’m a solid rock. 

Go ahead and leave me in the darkness. 

I’m a rock that will shine all alone. 

I don’t break, I don’t burn, nor do I decay, as I go against nature’s way. 

I survive. 

I’m a diamond."

나는 돌덩이

나는 돌덩이

뜨겁게 지져봐라

나는 움직이지 않는 돌덩이.

거세게 때려봐라

나는 단단한 돌덩이.

깊은 어둠에 가둬봐라

나는 홀로 빛나는 돌덩이.

부서지고 재가되고 썩어 버리는

섭리마저 거부하리.

살아남은 나

나는 다이아

광진

I hope you like both the English and Korean versions. Yes, they are slightly different in the translation, but beautiful both ways.

Have a nice day and as always don't forget to train daily via Instagram or Duolingo app.

Thank you, take care and see you next time! :)

KR,
