I used to walk another way
Down a narrow, walled-in street.
I walked and walked and followed my feet
To where the End and the Beginning meet
I left the safety of my street
And the clouds grew thick with rhyme.
Though the breeze was warm , I was fragile
And I shivered and trembled in time.
And now I search for my land of Eden
And I search for my C'est la vie.
Where's the balance from my meditation?
I am grasping for a sense of me.
I left you standing all alone.
You held me back and I broke free.
I gained the burden of a new life and lost a part of me.
And so I search for my land of Eden
And I search for my C'est la vie.
Where's the balance from my meditation?
I am grasping for a sense of me.
I'm lost in a sea of self-reflection,
Self-doubt, self-love, and self-hate.
There's no direction in this lake of tar
I cry for help, and I stand, and I wait.
And now I'm walking on my own down a wild and dusty road
I see a light up ahead and I hurry my step , but I'm heavy under my load.
And I keep searching for my land of Eden
And I keep searching for my C'est la vie.
Where's the balance from my meditation?
I keep grasping for a sense of me.

My training is in vocal performance and I love the fact that I'm sharing my writing practice on a platform called "vocal." It's just too perfect. I hope you enjoy!
