Train wreck

Folder: 
Pre-2006 Poems

The beginning of the final year.

A time to be happy,

A time for this part of life to end.



Yet a single event,

The blade falls,

And you loose the feeling of your body.



Unstable,

Unemotional,

Insane,

Scared,

On the brink of collapse.



That could describe me.

A few moments change life as I knew it.

A father gone,

And a mother in tears.

He walked away without so much as goodbye.

I don’t understand why.



Was it me?

Am I so bad...

Ashamed to admit this is his family

I don't understand.



The emotions boil,

And my head is in turmoil.



A train wreck of thoughts,

The basic stability of my mind,

Shattered as if it was as fickle as glass.



Just a person,

Someone to hold onto,

I can't hold anyone else up,

I can barely keep myself going.



Fleeting images,

Blank stares.

I don't understand why.



Why cause me this train wreck,

The train wreck of my mind.
