There’s this bright light

screaming shines

inside of me.
I glow with the intensity
before a supernova.
I hold it in, so no judgmental
eye will snob it away.
I can’t just give way. I can’t.
It may burn them and they
will scorn me for it.
So I try to stay put
but I feel invisible.
They walk all over me.
At the same time,
my mind is reprimanding 
me.
I can’t even please myself.
SHINE! SHINE!
Let them scorch!
Hate me, and I will
drink your hatred.
Snob me, and I will
eat it with a side of happiness.
You will see and you will
know.
I will no longer hide!
I am me.
