New York City

I love NY. So I hope no one thinks I hate NY. I am writing from the point of view of someone who just wants the fast dream and doesn't want to work or be patient.

Welcome to the city of New York
where lots of friends come and go
Many Places promise lots of dough
But when you are broke
you dont have friends no more
Loose women everywhere
you don't have money to spare
So you are left in despair
No one even cares
You retreat to your lair
You have lost your flair
Life isn't fair
New York isn't what you thought
You thought you would be a star
But you are very far
You should've stayed where you are
So now what are you going to do?
You going to cry boo boo?
You didn't get the job you want?
So you're living back with your aunt?
New York the city of dreams
Nothing is what it seems
What do you want to be?
You are lost in reality.
At least you can say GO YANKEES!!!!!

I grew up and still live on Long Island an hour outside of New York City and while reading this I actually was sad on your outlook of the city. I love NYC I could go everyday and walk around and take in the sights, the museums and the people always something worth a double take. However I do know of the heartache that the city can cause. It's the city of hopes and dreams and it has a habit of eating people up and spitting them out. You just need to stay strong and hopefully in the end it will pay off. And yes when all else fails you can always rely on the Yankees!!!!! Thanks for sharing. I did enjoy it very much.

You have a way of making me laugh and making me sad at the same time! I love this style and you are a very talented writer. I like it!

Even though I've come to love NY, I understand and agree with this poem. Nicely done!

Haha wow this is hilarious but at the same time depressing. I've actually wanted to always visit New York. I don't know why but I think most people do except for most of the residents. Now that you describe it this way, I might not end up living there. Haha.

'You are lost in reality" is my favorite line since sometimes I feel as if I get confused from reality and dreams. That connected to my heart immediately :D
Amazing job!

P.S.- I hate that song "Empire State of Mind" by: Jay-Z ft. Alicia Keys xD

Great poem, encompassing the pure feeling of NYC, the city you have to love to hate. I love the place, but I cannot help but agree with something my friend said a long time ago: "The big apple is rotten to the core" Anyway, I ramble. Great read, it was an absolute pleasure to read.

Sounds like NY to me, lol. I despise the Yankees, but that's because I'm a Sox fan! Anyways, this was good :]

Lol. I like this it reminds me of the reality people tend to have to come to terms with. Oh im going to have this lavish life living in NY! Then they get there and it's expensive and not as dreamy as they thought it to be. Success doesn't come as easy. Good piece.
