    Train Wreck
    Train Wreck
    Dust and ashes surround 
    The ruins of my mind. 
    A slow moving train wreck,
    While I’m tied to the tracks
    This reverberating madness
    Moves right through me.
    In retrospect, the pain was worth it.
    One-drip, two-drip
    I’m down the drain,
    Swirling, swirling, 
    Deep in this reverie.
    Don’t knock me down,
    Don’t lie and lift me up. 
    Feed me my cuts,
    And shove me down the line. 
    I’m so fed up,
    Guess I’m not alone.
    I’ve got this rhythm in my head
    That dictates the lies,
    Won’t you pick another beat
    So I can fly again?
    Slow motion train wreck…
    And I’m still tied to the tracks.
    -Kaitlin Platti

    Well well here I went on another ride thinking to myself what will I find... What I did find was a struggle most have a slow chaotic unavailing of a mess in ones own mind... I come here to get rid of mine... I write them down some move fast others move slow sometimes I take people in my writing where they might not usually go... Thank you for taking me down you slow train wrecked tracks... Switch teams and keep picking up steam... One day I might need to come here to untie myself from my own trap of tied down to the train wrecked track
