Brilliance

Jump to Comments

I dream of breaking out of my shell. I imagine myself to be light itself, so much so that if I could crack this shell my brilliance could light up the world. I like looking at myself in ways my mind refuses to see.

 

I long to make an imprint. Impart myself, my life, or what little lessons are in it, to those who refuse to see for themselves that they could be anything beyond all that they�ve dreamed about. Make my brightness light up their dark, and hope that they see what they’ve missed all this time, or perhaps see what’s beyond the walls they’ve built around themselves.

 

But the fact that I’m locked up is hard to ignore. Rapunzel in the city, short of hair to escape my tower. Instead, I content myself with reflections, snatching everyone’s brilliance and turning my mirror to chase the dark away.
