Magnanimous

Weary nights of long hours at the beginning,

no bird shall you hear chirping

no soul around as I pass the cold lane down of a broken town

I fear of being lost 

I dig my pockets to get the address out,

I look here and there for a sign board

Breeze was heavy as ever today,

But I kept walking, eradicating the fear in me

I wish I had somebody to talk to tonight,

just cuddle and escape to the great sunshine.

Thought of being alone got me down the throat

So I kept walking.

As I keep walking, the road keeps getting narrower.

Was I too eager?

I just wanted a taste at it

Taste, of the other side

Sweating and stumbling upon the worst of me,

I keep walking at a speed.

In the last of the darkness, was a city of broken souls

Ironically, it was very starry 

Every tree was dazzled and adorned by little shinny lights 

It was paradise for some people like us

Finally, I was here but just as I realized of it, I began to question myself.

Should I be here?

And suddenly the sign of loneliness sunk deep in me.

I enter through the doors of  ''fun''

Well, at least, that's what my colleagues call it.

They thought it was the most sane thing to do at my despair 

And that's how I ended up here.

I get discontinued by a bulky man standing near the doors,

who stamps my left fist with certain somber ink.

I take a close look at the print

it read 'End Zone'.

I smile to myself, 'cause those two words,

did flash my entire life before these gloomy eyes of mine.

And that strip club, stripped me in bits of magnanimous tart bliss.
