Mysterious train journey

It’s not too late, to start again

Whether it’s restarting the day

Or hitting refresh on life

Life is a journey, we decide our path

The conductor of the train

No set destination only progression along the tracks

Life might be a bit bumpy

But to survive we must hold tight with heads held high

No matter what we face

Some days we may wobble or even fall off

But it’s essential to pick ourselves up

Dust ourselves off and not dwell on mistakes

But reconcile with our progression

Every felt trapped in a corner

With no way out

When walls are caving in all around you

Or where you can’t wake from a nightmare, paralysed from fear

Unable to scream or run

Darkness spreading in your mind

Like a puff of smoke

The tightness of your chest – gasping for air

Racing thoughts

As if your heads a rally race

That’s fear

I used to live in constant fear

For what I had done, who I may have upset

With consequences yet to come

In the darkest of days, I found courage

As the darkness closes in, I found strength to push back with almighty force

I won’t let fear win, it won’t consume me again

The light grows bigger and brighter

Like the sun beaming through clouds

I feel hopeful and resentments fade

Courage grows and blossoms

Suddenly life is manageable

Without faith nothing is possible

That’s courage
