Backwards

By Abbyernathie

I'm headed North
on a southbound train,
tryin to stay dry
when there's no rain.
i shield my eyes
from the hidden sun,
i'm running away
when there's noplace to run.
i say the words,
but there's no sound.
i keep on losing
what i have not found.
i'm headed for the future,
but i'm stuck in the past.
i can't live like this.
i can't last.
