Railway Track (Originally Untitled) – Written Friday 16th July 2005

Railway Track

do not tie me,
to a railway track
do not make me carry expectation
that just breaks my back
give me a chance
do not give me steps
to which i can never dance
maybe i hold back
but sometimes i am scared
tied to a railway track
i am scared that it is gone
there is something i lack
when will the train come
speeding down the line
i am trying for you
i am messing up my mind
i try to shake off the ropes
there is a scream
wedged in the back of my throat
do not always attack
do not tie me,
to a railway track
