Be your own conductor
The Reconstructer
by Frederick Samson
A life in loco motion,
Non stop,
No station,
Lack patience,
No location,
No return,
Just a trail,
Don't look back,
Off the tracks,
A destiny without destination,
A tailless tale,
Forever turn,
Ever twist,
Never learn,
Ever missed,
Every ride,
Life in crumbles,
I stumbled,
Though I do try,
Conduct my mind,
Halt my stride,
Take to a stand,
Hold out my hand,
Look behind,
So to find,
The light that stalks me,
Keeps my tainted path in the shade,
My past is black,
But my futures darker,
I go backwards but forwards at the same time,
Trackwards, I go towards the light but I'm blind,
Attempting to change my fate,
But unfortunately it's too late,
It hits me,
Left in pieces,
Rest in peace,
Was I trained,
To not feel pain,
Nothing seems to be hurtin,
As my life is flashing by,
I'm awoken,
Beaming through the curtain,
A start lashing my eyes,
Unbroken,
I'm not dead,
I find myself in my bed.
Another chance,
To go again,
The rain washes away all my doom and gloom with its shower,
Life is replayed, till I get it right,
That's my super human power.
