My City

My city is the reflection of my dreams,

Which I carry with vigour in my bright eyes

Complementing the audacity I have in my personality,

Darling, it’s the window to the endless love I hold.

I go all over the world

To conquer my ambitions

It’s my city the soul of my very being,

That moves along with me.

It constantly reminds me of the mettle I hold

In order to prove to the world “Who I Am!”

Yes, my existence matters!
