Outside Of Eden

I picked a poison apple, and knowingly took a bite,

Only to find it made me wise.

 

Kind of a twisted Cinderella- or was it Sleeping Beauty?

What was the story again?

 

I can’t quite remember- whatever.

The point is, I don’t need saving.

 

That tasty morsel gave me a choice

To be with or without Eden.

 

The choice was to leave my fins

For the freedom of feet on land.
