it was a monday today and it surely sucked
i thought last night that it would be the best
it wasn't as i actually expected
aside from the 'tired' feeling spun by the dying math class
it was a day which can be ignored
but not for me
to top it all, the birds hardly chirped
and the sun failed to shine... such a perfect occassion
it was as though it became too dark, dry and bitter
the traveler took another train ride home
the 'little train that could' was fueled by damp wood
if you remember the story; which i kinda despise
that little train chugged and chugged
despite dreary eyes, it had to continue, tried it's best
to see the brighter day, and reach the other side of the mountain
perhaps, it took the easy route.. you think?
i know i could - take that easy route. no wonder
i despise that story of the train that could
but i know i could, be the train that could
the damp wood took its toll on the little train
the gears squeaked, the tanks leaked
the other side seemed too far
it was so easy to give up
the faster train overtook
with twinkled eyes on everyone's look
an easy smooth ride, comfortable cabins
and nothing to worry - were all that it had promised.
but what's today got to do with it?
i really don't know... the little train was too slow
excuse me, but don't i seem too old,
you see my creaky cabins, my shy appearance
did you think i could?
but the sky was dark, i don't think that train
was even noticed... no one would notice such a figure
in the rain that followed... you'd think it was a worthless train
shyed by the towering mountains at it's side
but the little train tried and didn't care... you could see it in its face
it hardly felt the deeper courage. the thought of the end
was at every track it crossed. if only you saw it,
when it turned through every bend.
the traveler took another train ride home
and the train that could soon traveled alone
it received no satisfaction from the hardwork it gave
a little more of this would bring it home, the gears
continued to creak, the cabins shy, and the years
of days went by. the damp wood overcame the train that could.
