Early railways

How did I know
At the age of two
That train guards shouted
Everybody on, and
Everybody off?
My Nan's settee was my train
And Blackie my only
Passenger
Did this foretell a
Career in railways? ;-)

Too many demons

Too many demons. Can it really help
to go so deep, to free them all?
A carapace gives shelter, even though 
the past it covers is never resolved.

How can I get the strength to lift the lid
examine all these hidden demons
and then put them away 
until our session next week?
Did you think they were buried
all these years for no good reason?

Listen, that girl that you feel so sorry for 
SURVIVED. The pain today
is just an echo of what she went through.
Even though, with perspective compressed, 
It feels as if it all happened at once,
She grew. And put some strength inside
as well as on a shell. So use it now. Survive!
