Train

I am the supposed to be the strong one
the one who has the answers

can make things happen

gotta stay strong

 

but what happens when i fly off the tracks?

whos going to be my train?

sometimes there is a safety net to catch me and keep me on course

but what if there isnt?

 

i save myself, or try.

but i just lose more and more of myself until i become a shell of me

a smile and advice

power behind my words

but no emotion behind my mask

 

i am like a train.

i carry wonderful people and with them, their thoughts

i help them get to where they need to go

i get banged up along the way

but people put me back together

but sometimes

in the end

 

im still left feeling empty

I chose to read this particular poem because I love the imagery the word "train" brings to my mind, and I was curious to see how you captured that.... I must say, excellent job. I loved the lines "a smile and advice; power behind my words". Really, this is very well written, kudos.
Although I think in the line that says "but what is there isn't?" I think you meant to say "if" instead of "is".
