Trains In The Corn Fields

I saw trains run in the corn fields,

With speeds that surpass the speed of flashing lights,

With every ounce of their approach,

I felt as though my every attempt to escape from them was pointless,

Pointless as being in the corn fields at that time,

And here I was in a battlefield with no amour,

To shield away the fears that were just in the road I was headed,

I looked both ways... 

Looking and observing as they stared me down,

If death had come from a feeling

It would've been another murder case with no suspects,

I lay there as the trains ran near me,

As they all came to crash where I had stood,

Like a butterfly hatching from its cocoon,

They succeeded in making me shiver,

The minute they catched up to me,

They striped me of every pillow of strength I had held,

My dress, my arms, my body, my humanity,

And yes, they drove through me,

Leaving me to fatten the soil I had messed up,

With the air that passed me by, they never again ran my way.

Grew and grew

They look at me and see disappointment,

They stare cautiously with the hope to see me fall,

I am no more worth the bread they put on their plates,

No more than any of the toys I never received under the Christmas tree,

Imagination is the most funnest place i belong,

I play with that car I wanted, with the mom and dad I never knew,

So, I grew and grew... the hate they had to see me fly,

But more and more I grow unsure of what I am in this tiny universe,

I pass through gravel roads alone,

With no one to hold my hand but myself,

I feel rejected, walking in the shadows alone,

But yes... I grew and grew to know there is nothing worth fighting for,

And I woke up in varsity, social suicide for helpless me,

I never asked for anything, yet they wanted to rip it all away from me

The little happiness I had gathered throughout all my years of struggles,

And yes... as I grew and grew, they just faded,

I am now working and a father of two beautiful boys,

And now they are the ones growing,

They cry their tears to me but I have no shoulder to offer,

I am exactly the beast they had hoped to tame and tamper with,

But I am also grateful 'cause I grew and grew,

I grew for this dark reality, for this happiness I own.
