Glow

Glow I can only make you happy When I act a little dumb When I don’t express my feelings You prefer me to be numb So your stinging shouldn’t sting me And your scoffing too is fair My defense and my rebuttal You don’t hear them, you don’t care You just use me as a mirror You decide what I reflect Always mimicking my merits Even though there’s no respect Always taking, never giving And your ignorance is real Without light, there’s no reflection There’s no beauty, no appeal And the light is what you’re missing You’re not happy, and I know I’ll endure so you’ll keep shining Though it’s just a silly glow.
