when i was thirteen i held a wrapper in my hand
covered in red white and blue lettering
a tribute to the land you once loved dearly
but along with so many things you once loved
it floated away with the wind
looking for a better place
where the freedom
we all once had
still remains

i once lived in a city so large
the people you see one day-
you may never see again.
i still search for you in the places i go
hoping to see you; a familiar face once again.
today i walked through the halls expecting to meet you, where you forever stood— but the man i saw wasn’t you;
my final fate– here i stand as the anticipation builds.
all i ever spent my life waiting for
stands still here– emotionless
