I’m a Human Disco Ball

I don’t make the light, I catch it

Hold it, then scatter it across the room

I am reflection

Fragments of everything I’ve touched, every laugh, every glance

They see sparkle, but don’t always see the angles

The sharpness it takes to break light into something beautiful

I’ve been hit from directions no one talks about

soft light harsh light

and still, I turned

still, I shined

And maybe that’s the point

Because I was never built

to hold light quietly

I was built to take whatever finds me and make it dance

I’m a human disco ball
