Glitter Dreams

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."
~*~*~

Glitter hidden talent
Never wanting to change
 One of a kind
It was you who made me this way
Chasing my dreams
No longer living in fear
Take me or leave me
It’s your choice
Not my fear
~*~
Endless ramblings
Poets long past
Never changed their lives
Why should I give you the pass
I won’t give up
Writing on what I know
Your nothing more
Than stupidity making a show
~*~
Discussions for many
Simple lines for me
I won’t change who I am
For anybody, including me
Hanging on to the counter
My world is spinning fast
Open them once more
Remembering dreams I just had
~*~
Living in a dreamland
Endless color schemes
Playing like a night light
Beauty overcoming me
Happiness is forever
Dreams will always last
You will never control me
Even when my time has passed.
~*~
Glitter hidden talent
Never wanting to change
 One of a kind
It was you who made me this way
Chasing my dreams
No longer living in fear
Take me or leave me
It’s your choice
Not my fear

Author's Note

Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?

Yes! Excellent. Which is why i live by the qoute "Better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not." Great poem, favorite.

[Layla J Omorose]

so true so true. You should always be yourself and love who you are. This poem does a good job of saying that. Good write

[PrincessZeldaWannabe]

Absolutely true and wonderful!

[Heinze]

it is a great piece of work i love the opening quote....

An amazing poem! Such a hopeful and powerful choice of words. The opening quote also caught me off guard, because it's so true and some people don't realize they could be something more than something they're not. I really enjoyed reading this, and it gave a magical aura. The title is quite spoken itself. :) Beautiful write!

touching write here. So nicely done!

[Chloe]

Wonderfully constructed. Your stanzas are strong and that make for the strong argument that you're portraying. Being who you are is the by far the biggest challenge of life because it means looking past what society believes you should be and following what it is that makes you happy. Great write!
