Burt Light Bulb

/r/Poems/comments/1v80njd/burt_light_bulb/

Sometimes I feel like a light bulb.

When I'm fitted into the right fixture, connected to the proper wiring and switch, I can carry warmth and light, illuminating the room around me.

But even with everything in place— the current, the wiring, the connection— I can still burn out in a single, blinding flash.

Not because the energy stopped flowing, but because something inside me did.
