URBAN REBIRTH

The city broke me first
with noise
with smoke
with endless hunger.

Concrete taught survival
traffic taught patience
crowded streets taught me
how invisible one can feel.

But somewhere in chaos
I found another self
a stronger one
harder to erase.

The city did not kill me
It remade me
From dirt and noise
I learned rebirth
