Train tracks

Train tracks

A Poem by Lori Mack

Damn, here we go again...
I know this all too well.
I don't want to do this.
I can't watch you destroy yourself again.
I'm trapped in this bitter hell,
This unforgiving prison.
With no hope of being set free.
These are your choices,
But we both pay the consequences.
This cross is to much to bare.
Paralyzed with anxiety,
Heartbroken and shattered,
Greif strickened,
Drowning with fear,
Mourning you,
As you wither away.
There nothing I can do to save you,
All I can do is watch as you play on the train tracks,
Screaming "get off the tracks a train is coming!"
You laugh " I got this. I know what I'm doing."
Difiant, stubborn and cocky...
He is so much like me.
I have to protect him from the train.
I join him on those tracks again.
Knowing there nothing I can do.
I can't save him.
He thinks he knows it all.
And the train is coming soon.
It's the most helpless feeling ever,
Living on the train tracks to hell.

Substance abuse is a painful disorder. The mental health epidemic exacerbates this problem. Eventually there will be too many of us crazy people. A new dark age will be upon us.

It could be worse. If we are alive right now that means we'll probably be dead way before the worst.. read more
Blessed Be, and keep both in His care.
