LIGHTBULB

[verseode]

               

            Like a dodgy lightbulb
            I'm flickering on and off
            Waiting for the filament
            To give it's final cough
            One day I am full of light
            And everything is fine
            Then the darkness reappears
            I walk a narrow line.

            Perhaps it's my decision
            To choose a preference
            Between the two contrasting sides
            If I had any sense
            I'd settle for the peace and joy
            That comes from knowing God
            Or dark, depressing loneliness
            I must give Him the nod.
