This city I’m in is full of wonderful things

But at the same time it stings, seeing terrible things.

I remember walking pass some dirty streets,

Yet later I see gardens being covers in flowers and trees.

Later seeing families being destroyed because of that.

This city I’m in has been amazing ever since I was a little kid

No matter the things that occur

This is the city I’m in and the city I shall love.
