A disco ball spun with glinting light,
A tale unfolds of a fractured soul tonight,
Mirrorballs, gracing the floors,
Reflecting fragments, evermore.
Hush, the silence is wrapping its soft embrace,
I find myself seeking for a secret space,
For in my brokenness, gleaming surface,
Unseen and silence, my only peace.
When no one is near, I feel no fear,
On tiptoes tall, spinning till I fall,
I still persist, in finding a reason to exist,
Hist at my worries, wishing for it to cease.
Here I hung above, a subject for scrutiny,
Still, stupidity is my highest form of insecurity,
Balancing on life's fragile rope,
In family and friends, I find my greatest cope.
A believer, though reasons dwindle,
I have never been a natural, but I try and try,
On trapezes high, I always dare to be,
A Mirrorball, bold and free.
Shades are revealed when I glint,
In every hue, both old and new,
Untold thousand stories making me blue,
Hoping every dream would come true.
I try and try, to find a haven where I fit,
Where broken spirits find their grit,
When the spotlight fades away,
I linger, yearning for that day.
Stop pretending to embody a version that is not meant to be,
For eyes that watch but fail to see,
Laying the table with all my cards, a broken soul that strives hard,
For Mirrorballs that shatter, they shine harder.
I surmise the truth is hidden in disguise,
For in my fracture, beauty lies,
In the gleam of a Mirrorball, a tender truth unfolds
I am loveable, and resplendent, in every fractured facet I hold.
So, see past the glimmers,
To hearts that break, to souls that dream,
For in the shards, a truth so luminous,
Every fracture brings forth new light so wondrous.
