Train

I wake up in the morning just to dare my train again 
Bound for another journey, against the wind, then nurse my pain
I could not say I'm witty, but I am bold to fight the rain 
I lure myself to thinking that being brave has all the gain 

I have a frame of rebel mind, for fast train, I always dare 
Sometimes, I step on my gas too much, I am not even aware
Whether I hit or stomp on someone, sometimes, I do not seem to care 
For, in my mind, there is one thing, I have no more time to spare 

Sometimes, I run a tough journey, that no one even dares to venture 
Though, the bound of my destiny is not my own to measure 
Sometimes, I leave my fate to ripe on the mercy of nature 
For, life is tough as we know it, but likewise an adventure 

Sometimes, I run too forward and stead that I don't know if I could come back 
But what I know is if I must win, I must run fast on my own track 
Though, no one taught me how to run, and perhaps the rail keeps my own luck 
Moving constantly is must, otherwise I'd get stuck 

*Inspired by the song 'This Train' by Joe Bonamassa*
