Regaining your Life 

The emotions running through me 
Are like a train out of control 
Going full speed ahead 
Threatening to wreck my soul. 

The lights flash by quickly 
as another day is lost 
Wanting only to turn around 
And get them back at any cost 

How I wish it were that simple 
To get back the wasted days 
To find the joy and happiness 
That I missed along the way. 

But looking to the past 
Cannot a future make 
Leave the past behind you 
Or your future it will take.
