some nights when the cold wind calms
the cars stop honking
people kiss goodbye
I imagine all the ways
my dreams are just too full
aspirations just out of reach
maybe this wasn’t meant for me
perhaps I wasn’t cut from this cloth
the wheels screech
my mind goes silent
I wonder why it is
we stop when every light is green

I suspect it might be “apprehension,” and/or, “self doubt.”
Rise above the noise. You are a wonderful writer.

Stopping has always been by nature easier than going forward…into the unknown.

Stopping at a green light is not a good idea. You’ll get rear-ended! Move on, Elle, move on!! ❤

Deep and got me thinking, caution perhaps and distrust? Very well written
