🚂 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 😤

🚂 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

🚂 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

🍃 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

🚂 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

🚂 flare seeps up from below 🚂

desire is stagnant without action
your face is my reflection
be what you need me to be
looking back wistfully

#escapingthelibraryofblankslates #trainwreckcinema #indieauthor #indiepoet #writer #poetry #poem #poet #selfreflection #healing #writing

🚂 mirage 🚂

stagnant with no pulse
trying to fly away
seas rise, trees die
attempting with no avail
kept at bay
fluttering wasted effort

🌸 apathetic catastrophizing 🌸

apathetic catastophizing
found a nice field that I could lie in

🍃 “I” 🍃

a word that my mind thinks my mouth mutters too often
and maybe if it didn’t, perceived narcissism would soften

have you ever felt like you’ve talked about yourself too much? said the forbidden “I” too many times?

🚂 the scientist, the bard, and the commandeer 🚂

the commandeer fell to her knees
no more regrets, no more pleas

here we stand and here we fall
the scientist and bard came to the call

🍃 woman in the mirror 🍃

“it’s time” sang out, ringing through my mind
dominoes stacked up, did not fall out of line

for those moments in life where you finally feel like you’re walking away from the chaotic unknown

🚂 rewire 🚂

she reached inside herself, tore out the wires
and in the process put out all her fires
looked at the mess in her hands
threw out the coils
she starts the rewire
