Glow Sticks

Surprise is like a glow stick


Living a normal life

Abruptly taken from my family

Forced into restrictive wear

Cracked in every place imaginable

Checked for every imperfection left


Never expected for this to happen

Living my peaceful life

Then being sold, bought, and abused

Just for an hour of shine


Don’t my feelings matter?

As a child, I was always told “Inner beauty shines out”

But I guess that was just a lie

They only want me for my outer beauty

Killing me for their own pleasure

Just to throw me away in the end


But it’s like I said, “surprise is a glow stick”


I was just a little unexpecting glow stick

Living a happy normal life

To be taken and used

Then left for dead
