Like shiny gift wrap, they say you're nice,
But only want you for show, not for life.
A pretty cover, maybe a fancy disguise,
But tossed aside when the moment dies.

Used and forgotten, left on the shelf,
Until the next time they need themself
To look all good, with a perfect display,
But your true worth, they throw away.

the wrapping paper when used, tossed in the bin,
Be the real gift, let your light shine in.
Someone will see you, for who you truly are,
A treasure to hold, not a shooting star.
