She is as broken as the sidewalk I walk on today
Once a beautiful path
Dulled by the footprints of the ungrateful  
Cracks and crevasses covering her whole
Unrecognized by most
Turned away by others
Weeds push through her body
Disrupting the disrupted even father
Across the street
A freshly paved avenue lays proudly
As her streetlamps flicker in and out
