My Country, My Hometown
The immense beauty of the vast blue sky And light reflecting off buildings had me Gazing, never taking my eyes off the view from above I want to be like the kite I see Riding on the swift caress of the wind I felt as if time froze, just me alone with the Infinite I took everything in Because I do not want to forget this moment
This city I was born into has seen my Blood, sweat, and tears Many a time I felt myself A stranger in a familiar land I wonder if it will call out to me when I am far away A stranger in someone else’s land
I want to live my days simply, truly I am Insignificant In a sea of faces amidst the crazy morning rush This generation is built upon high ideals People with dreams and aspirations The face of this city sometimes feels like someone I recognize But only from afar Full makeup, covered in glitz and glamour Yet undiscovered at its heart
