Traffic Light
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.
