Around me, the world collapses
and I am left alone, desolate.
No one comes to my rescue,
nor do they hear my pleas and cries.
There is none that I can depend on,
except my own self.
I struggle to survive, day after day;
scavenging for food on the dirty streets,
this city is my prison and i cannot escape.
Bare and stripped of everything else,
my life is a living hell.
But amongst its fires, I find heaven in me.
Walking on my own two feet,
I am able to escape from this wretched world.
I rise from the gutters,
and make a name out of myself.
This devestated city, with its brute and loneliness;
from it, I run.
I leave not to hide, but find.
I leave not to push it all away, but to find acceptance.
This reminded me of the first CSI:NY episode that I watched..
