I am a ghost in training
My skin invisible
And my presence inconceivable
The color in my face should be draining
I am forced to live the rest of my corporeal days
Stuck as a mist
I wander, thoughts completely refraining
Refraining from being thought
Trapped in my own mind
Locked in this dreary penitentiary of my own creation
Like a skeleton chained to ancient walls
I'm a ghost in training
For it's this eternal job that I'll only ever do well.ย ย ย
Let's go dark lighting. Some stuff I had taken between a while ago and a long while ago.
Some photos I got from vacationing in Florida over the past week.
It was real pretty, other than all the old people going about.
This old ship creaking and squeaking
Her hull battered and bruised
Carries me on
Away from you
A bay full o' cargo
Guitar in my hands
Thoughts of Ohio
Left behind like the sands
This is where i'm meant to be
It's like a remedy
For all that you did to me
Among the inky black and stars
Circling moons
Flying away from memories of you
Stars pass in this eternal sprint
Engines whir and computers tick
This jacket the only reminder
Of the home that's been left behind her
Quiet solitude in the pilot's chair
Coffee and nebulas mixing around
Inky black gulped down and down
Still, the thoughts of home rest heavy on my brain

Happy Writing! - Rin T.
I desperately want a house out by some train tracks. I'd spend hours watching the cars roll by, the noise being a constant reminder of the outside. I'd sit at night, watching as the engine comes through, remembering how I'd want to jump in front of or on that train.
Hopefully I'll only remember those times and not still think about doing it.
