Farewell New York City

Concept

I have this feeling, 

That this goodbye

Is not forever.

I have this feeling, 

Those memories

Were left 

To be made.


I need 

to let you go.


Life in the city 

Became a strain 

Of toxic love. 

Life in New York

Became trapping 

Instead of the 

Infinite breadth

Of opportunities 

I used to see. 


You gravely hurt me,

But you made me stronger. 

You pushed me 

Into really dark oceans,

But you taught me to navigate.

You crushed my dreams, 

But you pointed me 

To the path of resilience. 


Im grateful,

For you 

New York,

A rose. 

To part ways 

In peace.
