FB,
I am a vivid dreamer as well, but, no, the poem was written while taking a creative writing class. I often think in concrete pictures and analogies to understand and explain abstract ideas. I was looking for an image, the train, to show the journey of bipolar disorder.
Thank you for your comments and kind words.
