Last Train to Georgia

Last train to Georgia

do i board

or stay here with you

i need someone to tell me what to do

I don`t know any more

i really don`t know how i feel

was it ever love

was it ever real

I am confused

in my own mind

you have run me down so much

i think i`m blind

I really don`t know

who i am anymore

i`m afraid to make a decision

i`m really not sure

Would it really be me

it seems i was a different person years ago

but it`s been so long

i really don`t know

If i board

or if i stay

would it be the right decision

if i made it today

How much longer can i wait

the train is boarding at the gate

not sure who i am anymore

it may already be to late...

You're describing the mindset of the type of person I've known often in my life. The kind that wants someone else to make a definitive move or decision, so he/she can let go of the reins of his/her life, giving control over to the other person . . . that way, if it doesn't turn out good, someone else can be blamed. I read your poem while a wave of recognition washes over me, reminding me of experiences exactly like this & how they usually turn out. Your message is very true-to-life & full of vivid honest observations. Standing by the train, hoping someone will stop him/her. I like the tie-in to this song, too.

thank you for reading my humble work,everything i write about is real life
sometimes they are mine and most times they are other people or just
observations of others

[barleygirl]

I've written a little fiction, but those pieces never get as much enthusiasm as the pieces I write about real life. I guess we inject much more power when we're expressing our truth.

i think people really live what you write and they feel and connect to it

That's an awesome comment & my heart swells (((HUGS)))

Reading this with that wonderful song in the background was something next to Heaven. I love the sincere sentiments expressed in this poem. It holds universal truths and doubt/insecurities which I believe most people face at times in their lives. So simply and exquisitely done.

At one point in my marriage, I packed my suitcase so many times I wore it out without ever going out the door. I never quite made the decision to go back to "Georgia" but now of course I'm glad I didn't.

Great music from my generation. I only ever drove across the tip of Georgia a couple of times, but this song plus Brook Benton's "Rainy Night in Georgia" forever color my thoughts on it. Thanks for the memories.

Until you know your own heart and know your mind and love yourself, others in your life will not help. Especially those that only take and never give true love in return.

Nice work and well penned young man.

[wordman]

The way you've put into words the difficulty that people face in choosing between two really important things is simply wonderful !

[wordman]

thank you for reading,this is true for many people

[Ayesha]

It certainly is true for almost everyone

[wordman]

[JMKane117]

You words really do justice to just how "worn down" this person really is. I really like this :)

[wordman]

Get on the train
A good relationship
stands a distance
its hard
but worth learning of
but i think that distance has built trust
at least for me
though i get jealous tantrums
i am human
i cant help it
i am already angry i am far

[wordman]

as talented and pretty as you are you shouldn`t be jealous ! just a poem not real

[B]

I meant with a person i like
i get jealous in the distance of us being apart that someone might just take him away from me
sorry for the misunderstanding

[Celie Rose]

What an agonizing decision to make off into the unknown. I enjoyed reading your poem. Mid night train to Georgia fit in nicely.

[wordman]

thank you again
