The Tenacious Passenger

A trainwreck
Seen by many and felt by only a precious two
For they were the last two left on the speeding bullett.

Starting as a euphoric experience, a natural high
It is something that not every one gets to experience.
It speeds along unstoppable as the passengers revel in its seemlessly never ending joy.

Suddenly something on the tracks and what once seemed to be the strongest of metal
Twists and breaks like the weakest of twigs
Glass shatters and lay in miniscule shards

Surrounded by distruction
Filled with fear
The passenger realizes that suddenly he is alone
Left to forge his path to safety unaided
He must battle against cuts and bruises towards the only escape, straight forward.

Pressing through what seems like a forest of pain and angst, sometimes overcome by the challenge, he wishes to lay on the broken glass and wait for help.
All the time realizing that no one can help, for this is his alone.
He can hear the onlookers and rescue workers on the outside giving encouragement and well wishes but HE ALONE can recover from this violent devastation

It will be one of the larger challenges to date for himself both physically and emotionally.
Yet he knows that he can overcome.
He is unyielding and tenacious.


He is a survivor.....
