The One-way Train

I have a one-way ticket ride on a train

To be honest, I’m not sure where to go

I’m dejected, rejected as some call it

Right now, that’s the only thing I know

One step away from getting on the train

I keep on trying but I can’t get in

I’m doing my best to push my body forward

But something won’t let me in

Why can’t I?

Did I do something wrong?

Why does everybody think

That I’m too young?

Two minutes before the train leaves the station

No matter what I do, I still can’t get on

Yes, this is how I feel

I’m all out of faith but I know that this is real

I got on the train, successfully

But what I saw in the train wasn’t what I thought it’d be

Reality pushed me down on the floor

And I just wish I never stepped through the door

The train went on

Never stopped, not even once

It stopped nowhere
