This traffic light inside my head <br />is always green and never red <br />my thoughts, my dreams, and all my fears <br />they all speed past my listening ears <br /> <br />I close my eyes to block it out <br />but inside my head they rush about <br />I take a breath to slow it down <br />but upon my face appears a frown <br /> <br />my heart beats fast <br />but my breathing slows <br />I breathe in life <br />then out it goes <br /> <br />my body numbs <br />yet i feel my tears <br />I've lost count of the days <br />the months, and the years <br /> <br />this traffic light <br />inside my head <br />im scared if the day <br />when it turns red<br /><br />Nissa Armstrong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/traffic-light-3/
