🚂 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

🚂 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

🚂 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

sometimes you win
sometimes you don’t
no day is left behind

it’s okay to be better, not perfect
better, not perfect
better, not perfect
better
just better

🚂 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

🚂 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
