Desperation turned into sadness

as the young man sat on the rails

with tears in his eyes

the tracks represented his trail

Reflecting on life

without any direction

wandering the rails

each car a troublesome section

At his wit’s end

he could no longer hold the peace

speaking his mind

yelling a speech

Finally in tears

an awakening came

make a change

or everything would remain the same

Getting up

with a new attitude

he faced the world

with a sense of gratitude
