mirrorball

This writes "people-pleasing" beautiful and aching: I hang myself up as a mirrorball, spinning, just so you see what you want. Haven't you shaped yourself into what someone liked, to be loved?

It uses sparkle to show the most exhausting kind of giving. Taylor admits the "I'll shatter but still shine" fixation — I know it's wrong, but right now I'd rather break into light than watch you leave.
