Dog-Like in the City
People in the city
Wearing the white-collar chains
Mutually restraining, suppressing with chains
Navigating through crowded streets
Filled with hurried figures
Busy strides, like the rhythm of life
Yet, in hearts, a melody of confusion unfurls
Beneath the vibrant neon lights
Every smile conceals a hint of helplessness
City skyscrapers
Carrying the resonance of dreams and pressure
Interwoven gazes between one another
Reveal traces of loneliness
In this heartless metropolis
People seem lost in a labyrinth
Seemingly never able to escape
Seemingly always here
Continuing the noise of the city
Yet, the soul seeks freedom in silence
Gazing up at the starry sky
In the crowd, seeking a piece of the personal sky
In the chaos, searching for inner peace
City dwellers, striving and running
Yet, anticipating a smile that brings relief
In this ever-changing city
Perhaps, we can find our own corner
Breaking free from the white-collar chains
Letting the soul find tranquility amid the city’s clamor.
