Two Worlds
Two worlds
In one skyscrapers define the horizon
In the other peaks jut out of thick morning fog
In one paved roads snake through the busy city
In the other gravel crunches under my shoes
She came long ago
Leaving one world behind for another
She set foot in strange soil
Tears still stained her face
He came long ago
Ambitious and ready to see the new world
He too left that old world
Excited to discover a new one
Two worlds
One holds my home
The other has the love of family
One is prospering
The other breeds poverty
I am from both worlds
I am from bold and silent mountains
And bright city lights
I am from a country rich in tradition
And a country that gave me a chance
I am a part of a village nestled in the hills
I am part of a city perched on the shore
The Atlantic and the Pacific
Torn between two worlds
Two worlds close to me
Two worlds a part of me

Nice discriptive poem - torn between two different worlds.
If you are editing your poem, I would advise you to go for some words that would rhyme so that it will have some musical/sound effect to your feelings (in this kind of free verse too). Any way, keep writing.

Nice poetic expression. You have portrayed contradicting dual characters living in two different worlds using interesting symbols for illustration and this shows you have a good potential as a Poet. Keep it up.

Great Work AarjuI love the last two lines
“Two worlds close to me
Two worlds a part of me.”
But, I also think that you should add some musical sensation to your creation by adding some rhyming words.
keep writing. I would like to read from you more.
