Gravel

You can search forever and never find, the truth and answers for troubled minds.

But through the rocks and cracks you'll find that even gravel tends to shine.

 

Finding who you are will always set you free.

You take a breath of ease when you're all you want to be.

Be this newfound person and show off abilities.

For you'll find truth in who you are in being all you want to be.

 

Settling with the past but determined with the future.

Being who you want and therefore be your own teacher.

Let the culture surround you and be the main feature.

Because you're the sun and stars. A legendary creature.

 

Shaded by the trees but masked in destruction.

The more you hide and fade the more you add to your reduction.

By refusing self instruction you turn down your self production.

Hold the hand to your induction and don't give in to world's seduction
