Sparkles

1/1

I paint my nails in sparkles, so that I can shine like a star. When I wear the sparkles on my fingers, I glitter and glint in the world. I am noticed and admired. My fingers shimmer and spark under the light, drawing the same attention that a princess receives.

My sparkles help to protect me from harm. My failures, enemies, and predators are reflected off the glitter like one’s image in a mirror. My glitter is like a shield; it keeps me safe.

People ask me why I wear my sparkles, they say it’s childish. I say it’s beautiful.
