The Protagonists

VAGGELIO ANTHROULAKI

I have forgotten how I was before the disease. I grew up and matured with the disease.

I have been in pain, I have cried, I have seen my body change while being pinned in my bed for large periods of time.

But I found myself, focused on what I can do and not what I can not do and I managed to turn the pain in sweet creativity.

Just like that, every day for me dawns in a sweet dream that I can shape life with lively colors, nice smells and wonderful sweet tastes!

There are some people
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE,
There are some people
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE,
There are some people
… that turned the arrows of pain
into sugarpaste
There are some people
concocting sweet centerpieces…
There are some people
… and keep standing tall in life's difficulties
coloring its sweet successes!
There are some people
That took off
the mask …
There are some people
… and truly achieved
the up until then impossible!
