Station of Thoughts

And as I dance with that tune…
And catch that next stanza…
I start to contemplate my situation…

What got me here?
Was it the bullying?
Was it the intense academics?
Was it that one relationship?
Maybe, it was that woman I helped cross the street…
Maybe it was that one thought…
Usually, at this point, my mind wanders…
Viewing all of the good things that come to me…
One by one…
They play in my mind…
Over and over again…
Like a train that is going in circles…
Viewing the same scenery over and over again…
Like a tune…
Because eventually, what goes around comes around…
And like every other tune and train ride, it will eventually play all over again…
Then, that is when my mind starts to wander…
Looking at every flower and hair of grass…
Like every train ride…

There is a tunnel…
Where everything turns black…
Just like my thoughts…
And like every storm…
And like every test…
I know that things will not go my way…
Eventually, everything comes to a stop…
And when everything leaves, new memories come to mind…
And like train…
New passengers board…
And the old leave…
But, then again, those memories will never be the same…
Whether it be a pet…
A loved one…
Even a phone…
It will never be the same…
Like every train ride…

There is a stop…
And needs to take a break…
And like every stop there is a sigh…
Complaining about the delay that they must wait…
And every conversation that comes to a pause…
And like every train ride, sometimes there are breakdowns…
But, it is the work that is done that gets the train back on track…
And like that ride, it is the people that will support you throughout life…
They have your back…
And they will support you as much as the possibly can…
They are the mechanics that keep the train running…
But, like every train ride…
Every relationship…
Every toy and phone…
Every ringer and every tone…
Every toy car and every toy drone…
It breaks…
And that is when you have to let go…
Like every train ride…
Eventually, you have to get off…
And like every thought…
You have to snap back to reality…
And face the obstacles…
That lay at your feet…
And like every obstacle you eventually will have to overcome it…
That is where my mind wanders...
When I dance with the tunes…
And board that train…
Sit down by that window…
And play my tune and view the beauty of scenery…
I tend to contemplate things…
That is where my mind goes…

Because everything won’t go my way…
And I won’t fight it…
I won’t argue with it…
I have to be prepared to accept it…
And dance with that tune…
And just like every tune…
And like every train ride…
Comes to a stop…
And I reach my destination…
Like every relationship…
And breakup…
And failure…
I just have to be prepared to leave that train…

And board that next thought.
End.
