Iam New York
Ilove it like Ilove myself.
A place of fun and excitement; a city that never sleeps.
Music, theatre, fashion, art ...all different walks of life

. found underneath one giant Cup of Noodles.
NIghtfall is the peak of the day, and 24 hours never seem like enough.
Expressos, cheesecake, and chocolate make me smile,
Wondering all the while, "Will Iget lost on the subway today?"
Youth of this nation have it so good ...my 19 years pale in comparison.
Opportunities are abundant, my future is at hand,

and to love is possible, but Iprefer to like.
Rushing is the pace preferred: running is for some, flying is wishful for thinkers,

but walking is not an option.
Kind of place I've wanted to be, I've grown to be.

For it is in me..J am New York.
