They told me this is where I go where everything opens up no hesitation, no second thoughts, just motion. The light turns green and everyone moves like they've been waiting for this moment their whole lives. So I can go to? or at least try to.. But something inside me still checks both ways, still waits for a reason to slow down. Because moving forward doesn't always feel like freedom sometimes it feels like there's no way back. And I wonder... if I missed my chance to stop or if I was never ready to go. –––xx10m

Road Signs: Green Light
They told me this is where I go where everything opens up no hesitation, no second thoughts, just motion. The light turns green and everyone moves like they've been waiting for this moment their whole lives. So I can go to? or at least try to.. But something inside me still checks both ways, still waits for a reason to slow down. Because moving forward doesn't always feel like freedom sometimes it feels like there's no way back.
