glowstick


crack me soul open like a glowstick. 

shake me up until i glow.

but eventually i'll die out

and you'll replace me

with something prettier 

better

newer

or maybe you'll cut me open

to see what's on the inside.

or you'll leave me lying around in your room

chewing on my plastic until you get bored

and throw me

away.

  • picking up the pieces

    sarcastic jabs and quippy lines

    I hope you know I usually don't mean it

    and I know my best is not enough

    but that's what being human is all about

    I don't have to worry about perfection

    I will overcome compulsions

  • day dreamers

    like shifting shadows moving across walls and space

    I constantly reflect everything and everyone

    daydreamers like to envision a new world

    one where every cog in the machine does its job

    we get tired of being the mirror
