Catching a midnight train

I came across this poem that I wrote a few years ago while going through metamorphosis and decided to share it with you:


I’m packing my bags for a midnight runaway train
Better vacate this box in the night
Avoid stares of inquisitive acquaintances
I’m trading my shame of hopeless eviction

Gotta get out of these empty promises
Spring clean illusions disguised in hope
Unchain my thoughts and fly free
Freedom train is calling
Howling for my reasoning

Gotta break away
Can’t find comfort in these shackles
Key is in my locket chain close to my heart
Can’t stand the pain of this bondage
It’s been too long

I’m turning off the blues of uneasy comfort
Been trying to fix this house for too long
Better hurry before it’s too late
Midnight freedom train is howling
And beautiful dawn awaits me on the other side
