City Blues
The hustle of the city never sleeps. A constant throb of noise and light, a symphony of sirens and car horns. It's a place where dreams are made, but sometimes they get crushed under the weight of reality. The streets are paved with aspiration, but the shadows loom long, hiding the struggles of those who just want to make it.
It's a place where everyone is searching for something, but sometimes the only thing you find is yourself forgotten. The city can be a cruel mistress, demanding your loyalty, and offering little in return. It's a place where the blues run deep, a place where the soul can get worn down.
