Leaky Pen: Poetry

Train of being by Taeryn

Sometimes when I wake up
I’m not who I was
Or am I?

Simply lost, perhaps
In myriad of trains
All leading to
A wreck of people
Which one might be me
Or who I think to me

Guessing a masterwork
Collisional personalities
Vying for the right track

I’ve got a one-track mind,
But the train’s derailed.

Drifting slowly to merge
Becoming one with
Who I was yesterday
Will be tomorrow
But not who I am
Today

Excuse me please
I’ve got a train to catch
