What Am I?

I'm the glitter that rains on birthdays,
And the bright rainbow in the sky!
I'm as high as the moon, 
And when I come down I fly!

I'M A TICKING TIMEBOMB,
AND THE WORDS THAT SLIP OFF THE TONGUE,
I'M THE SPARK LEADING TO DYNAMITE, 
AND COMBUST LOUD AS A DRUM.

i'm boots in mud puddles,
on sodden dreary days,
when the clouds glide along, 
and the sun hides away.

I'm millions of eyes staring,
Towards podiums, microphones and bright-lit stages?
I'm a horror story you read at night,
That you tear out the pages?

im as hollow as a void
and rooted like a weed
i stay where im needed 
and dont try to plead

I'm an organism,
Filled with water and love,
I eat, I drink,
All of the above.

I feel fear, 
I feel joy,
I get sad,
And annoyed.

I breathe in air,
And feel my lungs loosen,
What am I?

I'm human.
