I am a Sucker for Pretty Words Masking Dark Thoughts

Streets

I have wandered among these sidewalks for lifetimes,

I have made a home out of busy sidewalks and small patches of dying grass

I meander with past friends in the middle of empty roads,

With no destination in mind.

I've lived amongst thousands of others,

We pass each other daily

Greeting each other with shy smiles and a brief nod

To part and never unite again

I have interacted with this city through the earth

I walk its roads until I can no longer feel my legs,

And I shall continue

Until I have mapped out every inch of my home

This city consists of my raw emotions;

I will always carry this city with me

No matter which new streets I may roam,

No matter which new sidewalks I may take solace in.
