"It takes passion to love, and it takes courage to break through the gates of hell for that love, and if you arent willing to fight for their love, what's worth fighting for?"

Busy streets,
Lights everywhere,
People buzzing around in their cars.

A big city,
Full of life,
Making people’s dreams come true.

The padding of feet on the pavement,
Gives the city,
An underlying heartbeat.

You can almost feel,
The breathing of it’s lungs,
As you walk through the town.

A big place,
Full of big things,
Things much too big for me.
