So 937

I love my city
The gritty made me
And
The shitty stained me
The struggle
Always having to be misunderstood in my bubble
In my city
Where it seems only the strong survive
Where we live with our lives
Consistently
Compromised
Where
heroin is suicide
Fast food and liquor plastered all over
Where
no luck lives here in clovers
In my city
Still wouldn’t want it differently
Because
If it weren’t me
I’d be conflicted
In my city
Living where the world sees pity
Where I’m
Experiencing it
for it’s true pretty
In my city
Can’t deny
That
It is me
Just know
That it is me
In my city
