I love Big Cities.
Mosaic of cultures and faces
But the best part is
no one knows your name…
You are only a piece in the picture and yet
you go unnoticed.
While other seek to be original
I seek to be myself
out of the spot light.
It is much easier to find yourself
when you know you are actually lost.

The author's comments:
This poem is inspired by The Dove by Romare Bearden.

I grew up and live in a small town, but for some reason large cities have always been exciting for me. I think it may be because I like being anonymous (Ironic I don't go ahead and make this poem anonymous, but no one will be able to put my face to my name right?) I like places where I can just have fun or relax and no one knows your name.

Thank you.

Yeah, I noticed a few of the grammar errors after I put it up. I'll be sure to let someone else look over my next one before I put it up. ^__^ Spelling is not my strong suit.

Not bad, a few grammar and spelling errors but not bad. Pretty.
