Cold Signs Poem
Neon signs blink through the night.
There are so many of them.
Screaming at me without a tone.
Calling for a certain decision to be made.
One that might be drowned out in the end.
***
They burn cold.
Bringing me no comfort.
Only of what to do or not do.
No actual promises given.
Visual aid of who created the sign missing.
A kind of plasma that exists to warn me and nothing further.
***
They all blink on and off endlessly.
Whenever I see them I cry.
Panic of which one I am supposed to listen to.
Not every one should exist.
False flags built on the house of cards that is anxiety.
The real signs signifying blaringly loud hidden mines.
***
I trust the maker of the real signs.
I do not trust myself.
There are simply so many.
I never want the awful feeling again.
Puzzle pieces clicking together after it is too late.
Cold signs left behind still lit endlessly.
