Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

Hollywood

I smile, a forced smile, while inside am no smiles

I walk, in different beats, while my one walk that I love sits on the curb

I sing, not my kind of tunes, hidding my sincere rhythms somewhere in the dark

I laugh, for the camera, for the motion picture, not from the inside

I dress, new dresses, new accessories, new make-up, different styles, to keep up with the appearance

I got my act right, I do not care anymore, shameless.....hollywood me, should be getting an Oscar.
