Red Flag

We shared some ideas.
Hopes and fears.
Passed down
through the years.
Amongst stinging tears.

One shot.
Was never enough.
Thought we were tough.
Living through the rough.

Take your comfort
where you can get it.
Celebrate the little things.
Resist attempts to pull you in.

The war was never without.
But within.
So raise the red flag
and fight to win.
