'Dreams are my reality' - poem based on 'Streetcar named Desire' - by Alessandra Cestaro


Dreams are My Reality – Alessandra Cestaro

When eyes close, conscience fades away,
c’est seulement une belle rève tonight.
But suddenly darkness turns to light
And this is my betray.

People see me, think they know me, but they only see my dream.
This show I live until at me shoots that beam.
They discover me as my fragile heart’s crystals splinter to the floor.
My illusion is now broken just as a violated mirror would be.
I can’t see my reflection anymore,
I can only face reality.
A question rises in me:
‘Who am I now?’
