My City

Inside you it was alright

I saw the world through your eyes Your optimistic thinking made me eager Very eager to see the real world, And now I’m here mom.
By Deepa Dahal

I saw the world through your eyes

Your optimistic thinking made me eager

Very eager to see the real world,

And now I’m here mom.


Instead of thanking you for bringing me here

I am cursing myself to have been created

You gave me everything, the warmth of your arms 

Your love and mostly your youth and your beauty.

Know your inner self


That degraded probably because of me

And mom what I got here, if you’ll know

You’ll be broken, you’ll hold me and tell

Tell not to quit, not to run and not to fall.


No, I’m not quitting mom, running is true

I want to go far, beyond the oceans

Where everything will be newer, the faces, the places,

The voices and my choices.


Going away won’t break our connected strings mom

No, I won’t let them bring us apart

You’re inside me now as my shadow

My soul is your part and your words are deep down there in my core.


I won’t quit mom, I won’t fall too but I’ll run, run away from here

Memories will haunt me 

But I have your strength so I’ll be going soon

Don’t plead to stay mom in these pits of lies.


And don’t cry too because No mom I cannot.
