Silent Thoughts

This struggle 

 Is 

Real

It can be maddening

 Actions say one thing

 Words and thoughts say another

I am wrong

Am I wrong

What makes a person a good person

What makes a person a bad person

Staying silent

While speaking

Falling

Falling

Reaching out 

Emptiness

Contemptuous

Spiteful

Longing for 

Understanding and clarity

Finding 

Muddled confusion

Sprinkled with

Brief moments of relief

The Train

 There is a train

That you cannot see

It wails through the night

It has many cars

With unlimited seating

For no one does it wait

For this one you will never be late

We all have a ticket

We all have a date
