There's nothing to see when you look at me. There's no pretty cover when you look at me. I am ugly. I am scarred. And I am imperfection. A gentle whisper tells me I will never measure up Because what is gold unless it glitters? It is identifiable solely by appearance. I guess then, you wouldn't be able to identify me You'd be able to put a finger through me, and realise I am transparent. Nothing to see . I'm a ghost. Inside I'm just air. There's no "x" on the sand to welcome someone to the treasure inside me. There's nothing inside me even if you tried digging. You'd see that you could invest millions into something worth more than a treasure chest full of stones Numb and harsh that's me. No one bothers to look underneath anymore. To see if I've gold. Cause I've disappointed people I've thrown people away My only closest friend at night would be the gentle whisper saying -" all that's gold glitters" My morning song would be the gentle melody singing-" all that glitters is gold" And now.... My mind is a jumbled dictionary of words -" not", " glitters", " gold" , " all" Bla bla bla it goes And bla bla bla it ggooeessssss....

Glittering gold or gold glitter or...?!
I open the box And a dusty cloud floats As the reflective bits Sticks in all the nooks And leave you little notes You will discover if it fits Or maybe it won't And the pieces pinch Right into your skin The Reaction was postponed Memories make you flinch You didn't know while it had been And the Glitter will stay And be there on the things Only hinting with sunlight bling's However never will all go away

Shiny little circles
Glitter on my cheeks Glitter on my eyelids All over my skin Sprinkled everywhere Like pixie dust I leave a trail Everywhere I go I leave a trace Of shimmer Unforgettable And never erasable Once I’m stuck in your mind I’m stuck forever any time you think you’ve cleaned me out There’s more settled in hidden spaces You poor boy Shouldn’t have touched me You have glitter on your fingers now

Glitter
The new year came with gold and silver Every sparkling snowflake to make me shiver But soon the glitter will fade away And the fireworks explode with cries of cheer But in a few days, I'll no longer be back here The glitter has smudged and faded away With the old year gone, the new year lies ahead And I'm sure that it'll all be fine Because with January's new gold and silver shades I'll still continue to shine Even after the glitter fades

When the Glitter Fades
wrapped arms around a glittered shimmer of air and I whispered: "I hope it all, turns out okay."

Hugs
i think i figured out while i'm alive i'll bleed out on the floor and most everyone will go around me and silent sound will sit beside me so i feel the burn on my skin but the tremble of my body will harmonize with yours and the blood we lie in will taste like glitter when i kiss you and the sound will sit in another room while we fall asleep just for the night just for the night silence was the sound of us breathing in just for the night

oh, rock star
Put all your Dreams, in your Locker. They are too precious to Display. Someone may be out to Steal them. When U are sleeping the Night Away. Learn to live Life mediocre, Don't flash around your Wealth. Your Life, is no School Play. Someday U will be chasing Health. There will be no outburst of Glitter, When U make it to the end of Life. This is from Me, a sweet reminder. Coz Life is full of Strife.

Put all your Dreams, in your Locker
I remember when I felt the Great Shift before I even knew what it was. Driving home in my glitter dress and your red bow-tie. I played songs that reminded me of you, reaching out. But when I turned to sing the lyrics to you, you were a million miles away, in another universe, orbiting a different sun. I tried to patch it up, putting my arm through yours like a needle and thread through cloth. We ripped apart in every pothole we hit on the road. Still to this day, I wonder, where did you go?

The Great Shift
..What was meant was never said and what is satiable isn’t fed upon. Long to be that faun in a misty meadow, lounging at dawn on the grass, gazing upon the peaks of eternity. What are we learning and what’s with the misuse? We tenderly abuse that which we dwell on. Claiming it a love letter, when a Better view reveals(in a peeling manner) that these are just clingings of a scrotal piercing fashion. Latching to these attachments as sacraments of dependability, nullifies valued spectacality. The pureness to the core of reality and the mess is a beautifully delicious birthday cake which never ends

even then
I morosely chew on my pencil top. silently sigh at the damage done. I look at him, my breath stops, Him, the bandage to my broken heart. Drizzle of glitter from the stars My version of pixie dust.

*Scintillation*
Try, try, try, till you exhaust yourself. And when you think you are tired, try again.

TRY
A 3 year old's mind, is filled with cupcakes and rainbows. They see how glitter glows, they know where the wind blows. Yet, They don't see the *** of gold, That awaits at the end of the rainbow. They don't know the colors, Of this fantastic aglow. But when they grow old, They'll know.

Rainbows
i remember watching the sunrise with you i couldn’t help but get lost in the depths of your eyes tinted with the golden sunlight. you felt forbidden. i remember picking up the glitter after the party and every time our hands met it felt like i was touching paradise but then i remembered you were forbidden, and i had been forbade.

YOU
How have you been, without me? I watch you when everything else becomes tiresome, when all the gold seems like guilt, when all the glitter is on the ground, when there is nothing else to see, I watch you miss me.

snow-covered beauty
you confuse me. but that's probably because my mind is clouded with uncertainty and sprinkled with champagne stars. i've been walking in a fog of feelings and pushing them further and further away with every glass i pour. it's not fair to ask someone steady to walk with someone so unbalanced so not ready. but you like that my soul is filled with glitter and i tell myself that's gotta count for something.
