Countless hours laying track
of promises unfulfilled.
What I'd do to get them back
for permission to be still.
Full speed on my ego's course,
charted with such precision.
Would I deny my remorse
at every indecision.
Certainty sure to betray -
such enemies lie within!
Had I glimpsed the other way
for a sign of caving in.
Can a mere passenger steer
where steel engines have failed?
Sealed a crashing fate so drear
had I not been
Derailed.
