Lost in the city called Life,
I wander lonely.
As my thoughts and peace strife,
I ponder solely.
I see the lit high-rise of inevitable,
But again I see the same as unlit
high-rise of irritable.
Vigorously, I drag my feet in there,
But I'm hit back by anxiety.
I see the other lit high-rise of happiness,
But again I see the same having path of sadness.
Sturdily, I drag my feet in there,
But I'm hit back by pain to much to bear.
As my eyes wander around,
I slump down lost.
Then I see Hope ready to cope,
Calling me in its shack.
Stoutly,I walk in there,
Now happy to have finally met the city knack.
