A chosen life

Did you come for me that night?

my dreams carried me

imagination took flight

towers, billboards – and

my name up in neon lights

waking up in a different world

I found fame, but lost my voice

I choked on borrowed words

only said things that sounded nice

I hurt sidewalks with pointed heels

feeling pain of paths I did not take

not knowing what lies on either side

instinctual acts leave behind an ache

I write epics, I enact the scenes

characters behind a mask

unspoken tales, authors unknown

I won’t read, but yet I ask

Did you come for me that night?

You Belong to The City
