Diamonds in the Rough

Stones and bridges, hidden senses
Quests are never done
In the end, the dream is dead
Along with all the fun
No messing around, scatter the ground
Far too many to count
Across the seas, amongst the trees
Never will be bound
When the roads too long, and hope is gone
And nothing seems ever enough
Hum a tune, and before it’s through
Diamonds in the rough
Lessons and jests, rarely are met
Mostly dragged or pushed
Only in the end, can see the trend
All the mistakes you took
Who really cares, when newly aware
The dragons and walls to pass
The direction you’re headed, slow and steady
Playing a tune to last
When the roads too long, and hope is gone
And nothing seems ever enough
Hum a tune, and before it’s through
Diamonds in the rough
Some will reject, and nothing is said
Riding on different waves
Others accept, letting you get
Higher from being saved
Only one or two, are needed when new
The rest might come around
Or if not, a joke to rot
On to another town
When the roads too long, and hope is gone
And nothing seems ever enough
Hum a tune, and before it’s through
Diamonds in the rough
How far it goes, you never know
The layers of the cast
Until it’s told, break the mold
All the stones are glass
Flip through the pages, some torn and ragged
A story to match the life
The highs and lows, burn and grow
Between the dark and light
When the roads too long, and hope is gone
And nothing seems ever enough
Hum a tune, and before it’s through
Diamonds in the rough
