Daily Prompt: Luminescent

Advertisements

They always said I burned a different way and when I light up everyone who choose to ignore me.

Would stop what they were doing and stop and stare like for the first time they were seeing me for me.

And I wasn’t ugly or strange anymore for they finally saw the beauty of me and it wasn’t just within me.

I always enjoyed their looks of awe but, I’ve always known that I wasn’t something to look away from and even though it took them this long.

I wouldn’t mind if they never saw me for what I am for I know the only thing that matters is how I see my self at the end of the day.
