I am built like city blocks crooked and running in all directions. My veins run up and down like busy streets, lit by headlights and street lamps. My scars are like demolished buildings, a reminder of something that once was. I have a skyscraper mind that reaches higher than anything else. My heart is a monument that many see but don't really know. My thoughts are subways and buses that move everywhere all at once. There is no stopping- only a hushed hurry. I am hard and concrete, my sidewalks are stained; but to some, I am home. I have hidden secrets inside, that you only know once you decide to stay in the city and choose to love me.
