cosmopolis: a city inhabited by people from many different countries
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
a city occupied by paper floating dreams in seas
of foggy hopes, drops of beliefs
she's a mere street light in city of lights
under the cracked flyover
flickering and flashing occasionally
a city which breath life into her
from where it all begins
career, destination and romantics
she's trying her best to glow
admist the bright brilliant crowds
an asphalt jungle of competition
waiting for one to reach first and win
a city which stands long before she lived
dawning rich history and multiple battles
an auspicious land of brave fighters
she's trying to contemplate her own light
how hers differs from another?
a little ray of street lamp
who is she if light still exist if she doesn't?
a city of grime, grief and sorrows
where each one seems lost
defeated from their inner home
internal moth extinguished by flamboyant ways
she's surviving under urban sky, luckily!
by the light for her fire within
a unstoppable flicker of hope
burning her hearts utmost desires
a city made of shiny glasses and brittle screens
people with masked smiles and play pretend
finding true meaningful human connection
on inhumane devices
she's residing on second floor of her claustrophobic cell
exhaling wind of temper or big exhaustion
mulled by loud sound of outdoors through her five inch window-- peeking outer world from within
a city of neon lights, car honks and deep bass
only source of entertainment
a futile attempt to satisfied lives
a city whose lights blossoms on nightfall
city of mask, city of sewage, city of glass
a city of tides
where she's discovering herself
from multiple personality to countless skills
being grateful for everything this tall, loud and colourful hell hole gave her
