my pulsating heart echoes off the walls of the city i love calling my home
and my soul is at peace.
the air is crisp but my lungs are tight
and each breath demands presence.

when my chest pounds with excitement
and my palms are sweaty
and i am running on adrenalin
i feel alive
free
any self doubt is masked with energy and harmony
and i know at these times
that there is hope in this world.
