Glitter

There's something about you.

You're a l i v e

Even though I can see so clearly that sometimes you yearn to feel that way yourself.
about yourself.


I see
What you project to the world...
Your accomplishments
Your bravado
Your talent
Your articulate expression
Your brilliance

And yet

You cannot hide
A yearning for unfathomable love
Pain of loss and disappointment
Wanting
love

Your unquenchable desire to be
c o m p l e t e l y
immersed

in
alive
.

in
love
.

And so, you live
Alive.
So beautifully.

You give and give and give and give and give
determined that others
will feel the love you know is possible.

exactly what you yearn
for
deep
within the most
secret place
in
you.

Where there are no
muscles
tattoos
performances
adoring fans
reaching hands
requests for your talents
parties
music

to
drown
out
the
awareness

that no matter how hard you try to get away from it

No one can really get in.

And yet,

within the angst and hurt and wanting

I wonder if you know just how amazingly beautiful you are.
Right there with
the
yearning

is the most spectacular
radiant
amazing
glittering
beauty.

And you know all that love that you want
so
badly?

It
lives
right
there
in
you.
