I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE
NEW YORK
You never sleep – You never change – You are the city of tremendous wealth and tremendous poverty – You are the city of old money and new money – You are the city of possibilities and the city of judgement – You are the city of fear – You are the city of hope and the city of bold and courage – You make me humble – You make me thankful – You make me angry – I fall in love with You – You are the city of drama and Crazy – You are the city of funny Indian cab drivers – You are the city of crime and fraud – You are the city of mislead and swindle – You are the city of justice – You are the city that mirrors everything that I am and everything I can become and everything that I’m not – I fall out of love with You – You are the city of acceptance and the city of expectations – You are the city I want to live in – You are the city that I don’t understand –
You are my lover and you are my crucifixion. 
New York, you are a city made of people – I am because you are and I love you.
