Glimmers

This is a follow-up to this post.

I see

glimmers

of who I used to

be

a girl who 

tried

let down by

family


i see

stars

in her eyes

hope

in her

heart, a world 

of endless possibilities

i see myself, glimmering there


glimmers, glimmers

waiting

back home

for me

‘a weak or faint

light,

wavering’


glimmering, glimmering

changed

in a

twinkling

did you not

know

I am

phosphorescent?
