The Ghost Train Ride

written about my first Ghost Train Ride on weston pier as a boy

I was feeling brave and a big tough man 

When my endless nightmares first began

I'd gone for a ride on the pier ghost train

Now i'm never gonna be the same again

At night when i sleep i hear all the screaming 

I can see all those monsters when i am dreaming

The thing i remember as i slept in my bed 

Is my face getting covered by a huge cobweb.

It's scary in the darkness when the skeletons rattle

I try to get to sleep but it's a losing battle

The ghost train was a fear that i didn't expect

I never ever knew what was gonna jump out next.

If i could turn back the clock i would miss that train

Then these silly little fears would be out my brain

I may act tough but i'm scared when alone

By a ghost train ride to a place unknown.

I liked the story line...the rhyme scheme does not hinder the read and these lines stick with the reader:

I'd gone for a ride on the pier ghost train
If i could turn back the clock i would miss that train
By a ghost train ride to a place unknown.

Its' those things we do that give us a fear...but in essence the fear was conquer in this write...
