Runaway Train
Out of control
Like a runaway train
No one to turn to
To ease this pain
Speeding forward
Past all of the stops
The brake isn’t working
Running till I drop
All of the past lessons
Are not helping now
This time it is different
No help with why or how
I know I can’t keep going
I know there is a turn
I know it won’t be long
Before I crash and burn
Trying to get control
Before I go off track
Even prayers aren’t helping
There is no lit way back
