Red City of Being

 Why "Red City of Being"? My favorite color is red (this does not mean I am a Utah fan, in fact I am an avid BYU Cougar). Red yells courage, confidence, and passion--all qualities I like to BELIEVE I have.

I wrote this poem my senior year of high school:

MY CITY OF BEING

I have a city. This city manages dreams.

It fills night with restless crowds of familiar faces.

The lights innumerable; the sounds reckless

I love my city.

I watch life go on from a bench near the lively Square.

Differences, common grounds, purposes, destinations

A sea of beings, only one unique

Only one with passion, an enthusiasm for life

An appreciation for melody, a respect for the world

But a heart for one

I believe in this dream.

A want to take part—to fit in but become exceptional

A lifetime profession, a tasteful triumph

A city girl

 It's about passion, success, and the pursuit of happiness. I like it because you can personalize and apply it to your own life. As I was writing this I thought about love and how only one person can hold my whole heart. Even though there are many who are ingratiated on my heart, there is only one person who I have given every part of mine to. One day my city will be our city.

the lyrics are what make this song so great.

So there you have it. Red City of Being. Much love. xoxox.
