Its iridescence tickled my skin
The sparkles spun a web,
The sheer weight dug into my back.
I crookedly stood tall
I could not fall, not now, nor crack,
Otherworldly beauty, held by me,
Me.
Each step I took, I elongated my limbs,
Caressed and pinched by the jewels,
But my mind stayed clear.
Eyes were dotted ahead and behind me,
My every move clicked into oblivion.
I dared to glance down at my body,
Interwoven brilliance lay on me,
I pulled myself away from its trance,
And instead gazed ahead.
The flashing lights danced with me,
Each pose I struck, an invitation.
Squeals of strangers crowded my ears,
My chest untightened as the end neared,
My name was all I heard,
A shudder escaped as the throbbing pain in my shoulders succumbed.
I smiled.
I had become the angel of their dreams.
