Golden

I want to be golden,

sparkling without consent.

Maybe even silver,

if I can't aim higher.

So possibly a gemstone,

but I'd rather not be owned.

What about Al or In?

But no one cares about those therein.

What about a human, though?

Doesn't glimmer, but so?

It sparkles inside,

and it's where my heart of gold will reside.
