Darling, dear;
there's hope out there.
You simply gotta dismount of this,
this train that goes around here much too fast.

As just as time has shown us
by causing ticking noises on the clock,
and making us realize, what isn't within
is luck.

Time flows faster
if you are in action.
Your problems faint apace
by looking towards outer space.

Though the rails are blurry,
and the stars don't shine;
Please think about jumping off of this,
and if it's just to safe your own life.

The author's comments:
The credits for the original idea go to my Physics teacher (though I don't like him), but I changed the meaning of his sentence completely.

This poem goes to all the people in my class having problems with him as well, but especially to Alicia.
