Trains

I felt my head explode In between one blink and the next I heard a bomb go off in my chest In the same second I exhaled a breath I recounted every awful inch of flaw By the time it took for my hair to be tucked I smiled and answered back to you While I cringed inwardly at a passing memory The truth is I am so exhausted The train in my brain is stuck in a loop I am a passenger trapped Desperately praying for a station Where I can get off and this can fucking stop.
