Runaway Train

RUNAWAY TRAIN A runaway train a life full of pain Running avoiding the hurt Getting away with lies, dancing in the rain Treating everyone like dirt Call me insane I am my on freak on my runaway train Running like the gingerbread man Running as fast as I can Catch me now if you can Abandoning every life plan Removing the ones in my life I cannot stand Finding myself in Rome How the Hell did i end up in another land Take me French men by the hand Sent me back with the runaway brand Trust me it is no joy to feel like a toy Runaway train has been my only joy Leaving everything behind Meting myself as a homeless in every cargo Runaway train in my on matchbox Runaway train lighting up the flames Runaway train my life full of speed Running avoiding my hearts need Tracking me down and you'll find me in my own ( Soul Asylum) lost in a ( Runaway Train) ********A FUN SPROUT My runaway train has ended , everyone joined, jumped in my cargo My runaway train all the supers mended Waiting on them who joined my Wells Fargo Thank you everyone for closing the contest, In less than 24 hrs. Did not expect that. Being my first contest and all, I looked for one thing i needed to see. A different point of view Of what I wrote above SKAT

Trains are related to our lives and dreaming about them (been a time when i would dream of trains almost ever hour spent sleeping) or writting poems on them signifies just how mush you are close to understanding life which is an achievement. it's a great write definitely and thank you for your encouraging remarks on ..what's up...

i love trains. when i grow up i want to be an engineer - run the trains, wow. that may interfere with my other desire to be a cowboy when i grow up. see, your poem brought me back to my own juvenile wants but then you mixed in some reality. i loved the ride, thank you, chuck

If only you could join your contest! I love it. Seems like everyone has their own take on a runaway train and it's refreshing to see this point of view. Beautiful write.
