People on Paper

People on Paper by Francesca Mari

What if I drew people on paper,
Would I get all the details?
The speckles in their eyes
The frown upon dark skies
The golden hours of those days

What about origami of people on paper,
Would they be easier to unfold?
The dotted lines path for scissors
The bullies becoming mere lizards
The living turned in fragile figures

How can I tame people on paper
When difficulty unites them
Amd loss males them stronger?
I can’t do more than admire them
Lost in their infinite boredom
Gifting fragments of freedom

I will write,
Letting the pen dance
Unafraid of the consequence
Flashes of time without ends
Letting Fate play with Chance
I will write
About people
On paper

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you Nobody too? 
– Emily Dickinson

I’m a Nobody finding her way towards being Somebody, Francesca Mari, nice to meet you. I’m a young poet and aspiring writer born and raised in Italy or, in other words, a little woman following a dream. I believe in the power of words and the change they can inspire, which led me to choose Modern Literature at university.  

I’ve always expressed myself and tried to encapsulate the world around me through writing and art in general, being music, acting, dancing, photography or with brushes and paint.
