Switch Up and Ditch 'em

I've switched rails.
On a new track.
I had to take my train,
Engine and all...
To stop those huff and puffing days,
On a familiar route.
With nothing to pursue...
But reasons to keep looking back!

The routine got too stale.
I attempted to prevail,
On a course that brought me
Repeated remorse.
With complaints to grieve...
As if that was an achievement.

I've switched rails.
On a new track.
And this might have disappointed others...
But going around in circles?
I have finally got tired of that.
Finding the trick to end my conflicts...
Was to switch up and ditch 'em!
