Red Flags in the Rear View Mirror

A Poem

Annika Ibels for Unsplash

Driving too fast
The warnings passed in a blur
I didn’t see them
Because I didn’t want to

Focused on the road ahead
that looked rosy and beautiful
I kept on going

And now,
I can see all the red flags
Clearly in the rear view mirror
As I lay bleeding
