Light Bulb

I'm not usually one to get lonely
I thrive off being by myself
I'm calmest alone
But after seven months of being here
And almost nowhere else,
I can't help but feel cabin fever overtake me

I've drawn so much I'm running out of ideas
I've listened to my playlists for hours on end
I've played all my games, watched new shows,
But it all feels so bland now
All the things that would brighten up my day,
Were just a dimly lit bulb
Waiting to be replaced
But I can't find the same size bulb anywhere

So I'm stuck.
Using what little is left of that burning out wire,
Still searching for a new bulb

But straining to see with that bulb
Is stealing away the energy I need to find that replacement light
Without my energy,
My motivation goes with it
And I become more and more complacent

If I could just find that light bulb,
Everything would be better again.
