I stood on the train tracks in the dead of the night
I had been nothing more than an utter failure and an embarrassment to all
As a youngster all that I touched turned to Gold but all luck is short lived,
As the years passed on all that I touched withered and died.
And at an age to be happy I felt empty and anonymous in society
So I decided to call it quits.
I drove to the darkest spot I could find
A spot where nobody could find me get near the tracks.
As I stood there I watched the speeding train approach me.
As it was about to strike I closed my eyes in the fear of death
And then it happened, I had a vision of all the years of my life
I watched the years go by in a blink of an eye
I remembered every single moment in my life
My first bicycle, my first day at college, my first bike,
My first kiss, all those times spent with friends,
All those vacations I took with family and friends.
And then I remembered how much more pain I would be causing all by this act
But before I could think anymore I was hit by the train.
I felt a thud and I watched my body get thrown like a ragdoll
Across the tracks all bloodied and destroyed.
I watched it as a soul who had committed a major sin in life.
I had thought of none other than myself
And had caused far more pain
And just then I realised that my soul couldn’t carry on
The death of my human form was unnatural
And hence I roam about in this world
A spirit stuck between worlds
A spirit which cannot carry on.
