My City

September 29, 2011
By Anonymous

This is my city
My city of stone
Of glass, of steel
Of concrete song
This is my city
My city that breathes
That cries in the heat
That paces the cold
This is my city.
This is my city
My city of people
Of heartbreak
Of soulmates
Of threads intertwining
Of chaos
Of courage
Of night trains leaving
Love and hate and fury and calm
This is my city
My city, alive.
