Mon fils, disait un jour Jupiter à Minos,
Toi qui juges la race humaine,
Explique-moi pourquoi l'enfer suffit à peine
Aux nombreux criminels que t'envoie Atropos.
Quel est de la vertu le fatal adversaire
Qui corrompt à ce point la faible humanité ?
C'est, je crois, l'intérêt. - L'intérêt ? Non, mon père.
- Et qu'est-ce donc ? - l'oisiveté.

I am a Prisoner.
Prisoned in the cage of expectations and social order.
Perhaps that’s why I long so deeply for solidarity.
But these chains won’t break—no matter how hard I try.
They feel eternal, their grip unwavering and cold.
A silent rebellion against invisible chains.

I met a girl,
by the name of Gracie.
She stole my heart,
but my memory is hazy.
Not sure if she's the one,
that's going to save me.
Still looking for her,
I must be crazy.
defo not about Gracie Abrams ;)

Lived quite a life
No expectations
Happiness is overrated
Joy is needed, but where is it

He would battle life
in ways others couldn't see nor be
New beats are always demanded
A melody is needed, he is it

Good isn't good enough
Spoiled and you're forgotten
The waves wash away
the traces in the flat sand

Not much sunlight,
just a cold yesterday afternoon
that struggles to welcome the night
and darkness appears too soon

(He's so naïve. It will come)

Only he knows if he's lost
or where to be found
yet he's the cold yesterday afternoon
that fights to stay warm

He's too naïve, a soul in the storm
a desire to shift and reborn
yet bound by fate, rough and torn
he lives to play and perform.
this poem was inspired by many podcast conversations with the people who work in the entertainment industry. also published on my blog.
