My City, Gen-Next, Slammed

Drowning in air

Lying beside my ruins conceived through grave storm Blowing away all safe spaces; making me cold
By Lazzana Goverdhan

Lying beside my ruins conceived through grave storm


Blowing away all safe spaces; making me cold


And it wasn’t just material things that swirled with the wind,


It was much more; sweeping away places inside hearts of people


Leaving my bluebird so frightened; it flew; you ponder?

No, she is not scared of storms but of those who devised it;


Monsters are not to feared for they appear in nightmares,


We’re afraid of those who come dressed up like dream;


Taking kindness for weakness;


How does it feel to be used? She always asked.


But it doesn’t make me forget my kindness; I smiled.


Though I own nothing but ruins and I wish nothing in return


I can be at peace knowing I have nothing to lose; powerful indeed.


My bluebird has flown away now


And it’s been a while struggling to breathe


But I’ll still be me.
