10. What traffic sign reflects your life right now?

We went through green lights and slowed through yellow lights, I even slammed my breaks before the white line of a red light. 

I paused at stop signs, looked both ways, ensured the safety - not for myself, but for them.

Nothing is ever safe for me; nothing is ever for me, in general, it's just always for someone else. 

I wish I could just stop forever and never have to look both ways again; never stuck at this crossroad.

I see the word "stop" and I think of how badly I want to say it, to scream it, to something, to someone, to anyone - I want everything to stop.

The words never come when I need them most; the words will never come now.
