Excitement surges through my veins,
As a tsunami of thill thrashes my brain.
Previous year long days no longer exist,
Today is the day my fresh start derives.
Farewell to the small town,
As it’s red dirt fields are all my eyes have seen.
Seeking a change of scenery,
leaping on a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I shall immerse myself into a city that never sleeps,
In hopes of finding the person I am meant to be.
Traffic flows heavily and slowly during the lengthy commute.
Everywhere, people pack the streets like sardines
Mind blown as I remain shocked at the continual masses of humans.
There I stand never alone but yet remarkably claustrophobic and alone.
Constant whoosh of transit is the source of my lack of sleep.
Polluted air obstructs my lungs.
Endless mountains of rancid garbage overpowering the city sidewalks.
The Big Apple has everything, but sadly big apple trees and green grass are a rare sighting.
New York City failed to meet my hopes and dreams,
It is nothing compared to the unrealistic movies.
Missing my rural island home.
Where there remains limitless grass, sea water, air, and peace and quiet.
My goal has been accomplished, I found myself.
Not the person I expected to find…
But I discovered a love for the lady I already was.
Content in my country atmosphere.
