back on the track

Poem Body

Looking back on it now
the troubled
trampled trails of truth
have finally
peeled off my
putrid pailing
parts of
passion.
Ruefully
revealing
the misery
molded mound
of my lonesomely
Limping lifeline.
Always
passing through
the pity pathed
paths of pain .
Just to remain
back on the train
Treading another
trialing track .
