I am done, I came crashing down Like a thousand light bulbs fitted too tight on high ceilings. I flickered minutely In the last hours And then you ignored me An anomaly that can't be fixed. I crackled inside Heat burning the glass, You wanted me to light Up your world, but I burned. But trust me I would have glowed And shone bright but sorry, I swear I'ld be among the stars. But I wasn't Instead I lay on The floor that you swept, And I was done, unfinished my                                                      Purpose.

Light Bulbs
I am done, I came crashing down Like a thousand light bulbs fitted too tight on high ceilings. I flickered minutely In the last hours And then you ignored me An anomaly that can't be fixed. I crackled inside Heat burning the glass, You wanted me to light Up your world, but I burned. But trust me I would have glowed And shone bright but sorry, I swear I'ld be among the stars. But I wasn't Instead I lay on The floor that you swept, And I was done, unfinished my                                                      Purpose.
Words are failing me Or maybe I am failing them. How do I explain I am unworthy?
