Poems

Glitter
To the less discerning eye, we are gold
glittering its distraction, scars hidden behind
angles and misdirection
Empty souls on parade
vying for attention
When will we learn
our flaws
are
what make us different
our flaws
are
what make us the same
all
we
are
, and
all
we're not
*Let them shine
Inspired by
Daniel Allinson's "Shame of the Selfie" &
an old saying my grandmother used to tell me
"Everything that glitters isn't gold"
