Chase Osborn

English 1 – 4th period

 

You might think I’m just

a 15-year-old normal high school

guy, green eyes, brown hair

nothing special

I know I’m not an all-star athlete

or even a highly academic student

I am a train. When I’m down, and

the black sludge of sadness and stress

is seeping from my engine, when my gears are grinding

and I’m falling apart,

when I’m late for arrival and my

passengers are wanting to disembark

this train of depression,

my crew comes along,

replaces my worn, defeated, broken parts with new ones,

fixing me up and getting me going once more

Once my trusty crew has me up and running again,

I’m chugging along on the tracks of life,

amazing the people I pass by, making them happy

and I too am happy.

Then day after day, I enter the station,

fix my parts, refuel my engine,

and start the day new once more.
