Cover image for post How a City treats a Stranger!, by nbwrites45

How a City treats a Stranger!

A stranger with so many aspirations arrives to live a life,

That glitters vividly in their eyes.

So much in their mind,

But nothing to say aloud to those alike.

It’s as pure an emotion as a person in love,

Or perhaps, if simply put together,

It’s a feeling unmatched,

With those of worldly affairs.

With eyes speaking more than the woman,

The stranger needs someone to understand,

To help them move with the city's pace,

And that’s how they find their space.

But some are left with grief in their heart,

Affirming themselves all alone,

Keeping life’s ball running,

Is their ultimate goal.

From similar yet different environments,

They’ve all come to make life better.

Left with no other choice,

But it’s strange how a city treats strangers so differently.
