Within this poem is hidden some strange city names. They are bolded just to make it easy to find. But what YOU don't know is the state where you can find these cities. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to list the name of the city with the correct state. Not all states are represented and they are not in any particular order. Good luck!

I keep trying to be Normal
but I still keep asking Why
my life seems so Difficult
I wonder, should I still try

could this be my Last Chance
to end the Solitude where I live
Odd would be my Relief
when there’s nothing left to give

this won’t be a Panacea
Paradise isn’t waiting off stage
I’ve been an Enigma for so long
I may just be Boring in my old age

do you have the Energy
to Welcomeme into your life?
for more than just Friendship
are you looking for a wife?

with what Speed can you answer
with What Cheer will I be greeted
will you Zap my fears or will you
show me a Victory defeated

I promise to Improve myself
in the Library of this world
it may take time, can you wait
til I’m a Ninety-six year old girl?

I am in Thrall of you it seems
brew some Tea so we can start
to understand how Peculiar this is
to find you Okay with this heart

LOL I love this! Boring is in Oregon, and about 15 minutes away from the city I live in!

My paradise is in my.... ooops, nevermind...

Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
