Poems From The Lost

Traffic Lights

This traffic light inside my head
Is always green and never red.
My thoughts, my dreams, and all my fears
They all speed past my listening ears.

I close my eyes to block it out
But inside my head they rush about.
I take a breath to slow it down
But upon my face appears a frown.

My heart beats fast
But my breathing slows.
I breathe in life
Then out it goes.

My body's numb
Yet I feel my tears.
I've lost count of the days
The months and the years.

This traffic light
Inside my head.....
I'm scared of the day
When it turns red.
