i'm originally from..
i'm originally from new york, the city never ever sleeps
where the taxis & time squares & tall buildings
they never leave all the lighs into the dark of nights
oh so that's where i'm originally from
new york
the bronx, new york
where the people get to the train station to work
or go to the big bus to reach manhattan
there's too many highways
those long long bridges that touches the skies
& big ghetto apartments goes along the different avenue streets
i've seen little girls playing double dutch
boys were playing the basketball
&for rest of the grown folks
men sat at the table in the sun
play the 52 deck of cards &
women just always gossip
& i passed them by.........
market/drugstore
Harlem where the poet langston hughes lived
the twin towers before 9/11
& empire state building
even beautiful churches
& i passed them by too
cos that's where i'm originally from
new york
the brox
i'm a city girl
with that city accent
& nobody didn't passed me by
only my reflections & the clouds in the sky
they knew me well enough to know my heart
cos i never forget where i'm originally from
the suburbs
& the roots of my childhood
i'm originally from

Yes I have, Kai, and I write about it often.:)
Where do you like to travel?
