I never loved you enough,
My city.
I spent too long,
Wishing
I was somewhere else.
Until I got to know you.
My people.
I started to learn,
Loving
In my home.
You were always here
My childhood.
You raised me,
Loving
As a friend.
And then I left you.
My goodbye.
My college travels,
Calling
I thought away.
And then I realized
My mistake,
My loving city
Calling
Me back home.
I woke up, city
My horror.
What happened to you?
Crying
Blood on your streets.
I’ll cry too.
My city.
I spent too long,
Wishing
I was somewhere else.
Forgive me,
My people.
Who raised me,
Confessing
Is what I must do.
Incredibly touching and I SO relate… I need to confess too.
