The essence of me In the quiet of my mind, I often find myself entwined In the beauty of my own soul, A place where only I can go. I have seen the world and its pain, But I've also felt the joy and gain, And through it all, I've found my way, With the courage to live each day. I am the sum of all my parts, A reflection of my deepest heart, And in this ballad that I write, I celebrate the essence of my life.
