Train Tracks

I'm standing there I haven't moved I feel the wind in my hair My feet are glued I hear the whistle blow I can see the light This you should know It ends tonight The tracks start to shake It's coming so fast They won't brake And the pain won't last There will just be pieces Everyone will stare There will be speeches Because they think they care The signs were there If only they knew This wasn't a dare Choo choo... *Written on July 4th, 2017*

Its a sad situation when a person feels so alone and desperate that he or she considers ending it all. You have addressed a deeply disturbing issue Lily in a most creative way. Perhaps you would like to read my Hallelujah- from the mouth of Babes, and Starry Starry night, and let me know what you think?...Maria
