I feel like I am on a train Watching life speed past me I only get a glimpsed of the view Before it is replace with another
I pass busy cities and quiet country sides These pretty images guide me And provide me with distractions A bona fide offer to occupy my mind
Then the train would go through a tunnel And I would be surround by darkness Out the window, I am faced with my reflection A grim ghost, staring into my soul
Head filled with the meaningless That when I have nothing to distract myself I am forced to dwell on my thoughts All my misery pushed away returns
Attracted like moths to the light of my reflection. They flitter about, rapidly gnawing my clothes and skin. Who knew misery had such a voracity. My reflection only looks on with apathy.
Thankfully, this encounter is only brief. And the train comes out of the tunnel The sudden light banishes my reflection And I can continue to look out at the view
Watch as I speed passed it Without thought nor worry For the moths have scurry away Leaving me in peace, for today
Although this train is on a straight line It feels like it is going in circles Darkness seekers must be the conductor of this train As it wonβt be long till I return to the tunnel
Spent nearly a year working on this poem. I think I finally got it the way I want it. Interuupt what you will.
