Red Flags

Everyone sees

but no one knows what to look for‐

Everyone hears

but no one knows what they're listening to‐

Plenty lay hands

but who can truly feel?

Signals are always missed...

no one knows just how red these flags truly are‐

Attention can be paid,

but the truth is priceless...

and the mask that hides will surely drown in regret,

until its secrets guide it to its grave‐

How can one judge another for not knowing what is hidden?...

only very few are aware of what is left unspoken‐

Should the man in the mirror share his view?...

only to be misunderstood one more time?...

Does he have permission to ask,

"What's the point?..."
