🚂 the id and the ego 🚂
The pain is nothing
I don't see her anymore
Unveiled anew
And you don't see her anymore
Only slightly bruised
Thank God for the one that's grounded
So much so that I finally know
What lies beyond that reflection
It wasn't just a dream

🚂 train wreck cinema - the title poem for this poetry collection is a reflection of recognizing that sometimes life forces you to be someone you never intended to be
it can feel like a train wreck as you put on your cinematic show
but you can get out of it, because you're not a train wreck cinema
