Warning Flags

Folder: 
Discipline

It's the markers in life,
the ones we need to stay
in between.

Yet we go outside of our boundaries,
willing to turn a blind eye
to the danger.

The markers become invisible.
Wanting to go further from
the beaten path.

Maybe it was boredom,
maybe it was fulfilling a desire
a lust, a love.

It hides behind beauty,
when in fact it is everything
but what we wanted.

It satisfies for the moment,
but cannot fill the void
we have.

The flags need to be noted
and seen for what they are,
dangerous situations.

To stop, before you give in.
Turn away from what looks
delightful and good.

Yet the path is destructive
and can ruin your life
in an instant.

The warnings are there.
It's a matter of seeing
the warning flags.
