Life

life hits you like a train

as you think the suns going to come up it starts to rain 
there is nothing you can do but sit and wait
so as the clock ticks time away you begin to not recognize your face
counting down the weeks months and years 
you begin too succumb to your worst fears 
then out of nowhere a light reaches out to grab you 
but you cant reach no matter what  you do
so once again you have to wait for the light that is always late.
