I Want To Break This City Poem by Liza Sud

I Want To Break This City



I want to break this city
for it is breaking me.
I hurried to your feast but
the traffic jam caught me.

You all came at your large cars,
and I was changing buses.
And then I went to my house,
sobbing and crying, crying.

You wanted to wait and you called me two times,
in noise I didn't hear!
You told me the first - and last time -
your ship leaves in two minutes.

I dropped and hid the telephone.
and turned back home.
I went - there was no rain and no cold,
But all the way I cried and sobbed.

I was not crying for 2 years!
And this hysterics was 3 days!
I hid it from the eyes of people
and all of my colleges.

I noticed next morning
everyone seemed upset,
They said that it was cold on water,
it's easy to forget!

That I was losing nothing.
2 hours in jam!
And not to see you - how sad!
the last call from my love!

2 hours to you on buses.
2 hours on foot back.
Hatred to such surroundings
and to this life!

I want to break this city.
I beat in mind its walls.
Because I didn't see you
you played with other girls!

These tears were so silly!
the fault was all my own!
Because I didn't hear
your waiting second call!

I can buy this ship for 10 000 rubles
and go to any place,
but I don't need travel without Julia
but she doesn't seem to wait.

This poem shows the stress of modern urban life reaching a crisis level, that means you must escape from the stress situation RIGHT NOW. So you stay home but the stress doesn; t stop, at least no new stress is added as you try to recover. Unfortunately, being away from work, trying to withdraw from further problems, you miss a last meeting with a departing friend, yet another casualty of urban stress. This is vivid poetry detaling with a pressing problem of coping with the negative issues of modern life.

Powerful, heartbreaking work, young lady...A decent poet is able to bring their Readers to their work, , , A good poet is able to capture their Reader's within the work...make them feel your emotion, as if they had experienced the event with you....And that's just what you did here...Solid penning ~FjR~
