glass jars line the way

I can't count how many times people informed me I was a monster,
Maybe I am the thief so many claimed me to be but I never asked for this jar of lightning bugs.
You tell me I am not the bad guy of this story but you keep your distance,
Maybe you view yourself as some sort of little demon as well...
I pondered to myself that this must be what its like when a light bulb flickers out.
So far from where everything began,
Every day my eyes see things under new light,
Out of curiosity I picked a scab only to watched as life rolled down my arm.
You should see the way everyone has been looking at me,
Its like i'm a fox in a chicken coop.
Some times I like to believe glass jars line the way to a moment
Where I am a light minded man, where my shoulders can rest
And the lightning bugs realized they where free from the start.

Seems a bit disorganized to me. But I see the premise of it, and I like it a lot.
