🚂 retrospect 🚂
we dreamt and spoke of seeing the light
those ideas woefully out of sight
retrospect - a song and poem from Train Wreck Cinema - Vol 1 of Escaping the Library of Blank Slates (and eventual album…🎼)

🚂 do unto death 🚂
do unto her
do undo death
stop running, catch your breath
~~~
i was having a bit of a rough time when i wrote this one about a year ago...this was originally written as a song with lots of anger 😤

🚂 the id and the ego 🚂
The pain is nothing
I don't see her anymore
Unveiled anew
And you don't see her anymore
Only slightly bruised
Thank God for the one that's grounded
So much so that I finally know
What lies beyond that reflection
It wasn't just a dream

🚂 train wreck cinema - the title poem for this poetry collection is a reflection of recognizing that sometimes life forces you to be someone you never intended to be
it can feel like a train wreck as you put on your cinematic show
but you can get out of it, because you're not a train wreck cinema
🚂 timeless den 🚂
no longer in my holding pen
ran away from my timeless den
no longer in an endless pace
no longer have to see your face
train wreck cinema - vol i in my escaping the library of blank slates collection - available at nikkiday.com!

Love it!!! Nothing better than birds AND book reveal! 🦅
🚂 liminal space 🚂
change is unbalancing, makes you feel off course
like everyone has eyes on you
pushing on way or the other
#escapingthelibraryofblankslates #trainwreckcinema #writer #poetry #poem #poet
🚂 identity crisis 🚂
it was all in my head, of course
through it all, became mentally hoarse
and it all finally hits
of why i wallow in it
nothing changes without action
it had been me all this time

🚂 go on, butterfly, cry 🚂
in these moments of doubt, I like to write a list of everything that paints a stroke onto the portrait of my days' demise
and i realize that there are some things in life you can't control
reorient your desires
longing does no good
#trainwreckcinema
🍃 saved by the pen 🍃
piano strokes rang out to you in a dream
the pen laid there, fluttering, showing a beam
Historical faces that you'll never see
Wrote the stories and prophecies that you'll never go on to read

🚂 do unto death🚂
don't we all suffer the consequences of another man's actions?
throw our hands up in innocence, it doesn't matter anyway
end up in the confinement of our own mind
and run
and run
and we run
forever on, until we meet death

🚂 lilacs 🚂
i look at those lilacs you got me all those years ago
no matter what seems to hit them, they still thrive and grow
and i'll be the lilac if i'm not allowed to go back
i'll be the lilac

🚂 silver-lined jet streams 🚂
flew to new heights
as i looked down at what was and what will never be
floating over stars just out of reach

A blip of beauty
It is my duty
It beckoned me so
Though, why, I do not know
🍃
The pen does take away the pain ✒️🎼
Thank you so much!!
goodness, i made a Freudian slip as the lyric/poem should read "i hold my pen" .... i guess we write our pain away regardless 🤷
🚂 retrospect 🚂
patterns manifest in retrospect
tides change right in front of me time to act
now my own again, i hold my pain
collect myself and now i ascend

🚂 rewire 🚂
if only she had known
she would've gone alone
but you were good, threw her a bone
the time came, she had to go
rewire me
stitch me back up one last time
