Living Against the Rails
you want to learn to survive
survive the daily pain
pain from friends and family
family that isn't really here
here to them is in the clouds
clouds that hurt themselves
they inflict the pain to stay
stay up but not far away
away from reality
reality is where you live
living, breathing, trying
trying to stay against the rails
rails that lead you into the sky
skies that harbor a family's clouds
clouds that try to run from reality
reality is the living, breathing, surviving
surviving is reality
reality is living
living is breathing
breathing is what you're doing
doing it everyday
everyday you're surviving
surviving the pain of daily things
things such as living against the rails
