The acting life

"


How confident are you to have more lives than years ? 
But you don’t realize that it’s all compromise
And in the blink of an eye, you lay in disguise
But you think it’s worth all the glittering prizes


Without thinking your identity disappears 
Stable, your real life, not to people surprise
keeps wandering in the reflection of your eyes 
In the meantime, your acting game slowly appears


You wonder where did your genuine feelings go? 
Don’t keep them in your memory and let them flow
As well as all those expressions that you have lent


Nostalgia of your past get you back on the track 
Eventually when the show comes to the end
You lower your head, breath out, and find yourself back

CITY COLLAGE.png


Shoreditch streets 

"

Tonight the streets are not crowded
But I keep being surrounded 
Not by all the people I met 
But by the art, I can’t forget 

All those ever-changing murals 
Discovered around Soreditch street 
Inspire the creative locals 
And awake the chances asleep

Today the streets are not empty
Vintage treasures are aplenty
The sun shines and the markets glow
Over the roads, where people go 

Smell of coffe freshly grounded 
while walking down Soreditch high street
Leads to start-ups just created
Realising dreams incomplete
