A single jar sitting in a dusty
cobwebbed room.
Within this jar floated
dozens of lonely lights.
Dozens of lonely fireflies.
What are they doing here?
Not what they’re supposed to
be doing, that’s for sure.
Fireflies are the bringers of light,
they should be out there, bringing
the light to those who need it.
Should I open the jar?
Yes. Of course. Always open
those jars and set the fireflies
free. Liberate the light, return
the sparkle and positivity to the
people who have lost theirs.
Hey, you there, sitting alone!
Dry your eyes, banish those
tears. You may feel lonely
right now, you may feel
worthless, but you’re not.
You’ve just lost your fireflies.
I unscrew the jar, these belong to you.
Here you go, I think you lost these.
They were in a jar in a dark room
somewhere. They weren’t helping
anyone. Take them back, and let
them help you.
They did belong to you! I can tell, you’re sparkling!
