The Ramblings of a Totally Okay Person

I am キラキラ.
I am sparkles and glitter and yellow and sunshine.
But I am also
No wait, just kidding.
Yeah that about sums it up.
Although I can tell you what I am not.
 
I am not cold,
nor lonely.
I am not winter manifested,
(Or twice removed or whatever).
I am not the coveted red carpet;
Who lets people walk all over them until they bleed anyway?
The tears don't fall, they crash around me.
Supposedly.
But what if they fall inside of me instead?
 
I am キラキラ,
and no one can tell me any different.

(*Note: キラキラ (pronounced kira kira) means glittering in Japanese, and is a play-on words of the occasional name I choose for myself, Kira.)
