Audition

By Linz Corzine

I’ve realized that for a while
I’ve felt like I have been on trial
Or constant audition, resultant inhibition
Uneasy, even queasy, 
Unsure if I believe me
In fear of being unclear
Therefore, in fear

Feels like I have to prove I’m free
I know I don’t, but I won’t believe me
Holding on- I won’t let go
Of all the things I think I know
Self-doubting, stress mounting,
Unsure if I’m amounting
Feels like I don’t really feel
Unsure now what’s real

Both Sides, Now
Joni Mitchell

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way

Now it’s just another show
You leave ’em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all

Tears and fears and feelin’ proud
To say, “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost, and something’s gained
In living every day (raise pitch to creshendo)

(creshendo)
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life… at all

I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life… (at all)
