the city of angels

the second biggest city in the united states
los angeles
i have been blessed to have lived there
not once, twice but three times
i did not fight to make it work there
i have been drawn to los angeles for a reason
i miss los angeles, the city of angels
i hope to return someday because i have a calling
something is awaiting for me out there
i miss the beach, i miss my friends, i miss the nightlife
i miss the opportunities, i miss the culture, i miss the energy
i messed up the last three times i went there
not in right state of mind or focused on the main prize
my talents and passion desires me to return again
somehow, someway, someday, i will return
so that i can achieve some goals that i never achieved
the city is calling me, the spirit within says i belong there
the struggles of the previous lives i lived there were hard
i miss the city of angels, i have a purpose, a meaning, a gift
once i get what i need to do taken care of here, i will return
i feel it, it's my life, i deserve to go there with no roadblocks
before i had relationships and financial woes, but wont let it block me again
i dont know when i can make this happen, but in time i will lie my head down there
because i feel it, why else be drawn there three times, unsuccessfully
once i get my mind, body and soul all aligned, i want to feel the city around me
make a difference in others lives and make my name known, leave my mark
i left many times before for personal reasons as well related to family issues
yet i have felt i have chosen so many wrong paths in my life
my brainwaves cause and have caused me to make the wrong decisions
when i know in my heart from a kid i wanted to be there to chase a dream
no man, woman or child should get in the way of your destiny or passion
i know what i want to do as therapy is breaking down my walls and no more running
i miss you LA, i'll be home someday.
