This city’s beautiful
Decrepit — nascent
Hazily bright
Genuine
Cliché
This city’s angry
Defiant
Resistant — resilient
Changing
Nostalgic
This city’s mad
Possessive — detached
Isolated
Intertwined
In your mind,
Dreamily light
On your shoulders,
Sitting heavy
This city is heavy
Victorious — defeated
Incessant
Nonchalant
Bustlingly unproductive
Provocative — demure
This city’s a ghost rebirthing
The lively dead
Hopeful — depressed
Boiling over the edge
Passion
This city pushes away
Tugs back the heart
Tearing us
Apart
Crashing us together
Come closer
Home
This city’s calling
Peace
