A *Red Flag* symbolizes "Danger" Many ignore this warning, but it is safe to say- I am not one of them. Many see danger ahead and just pass on through anyway. "Enter at your own Risk" They certainly do. This is deep and powerful. Congratulations Alexis, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

...some see it as a flag of surrender....a false bravado preceding submission. Thought provoking one liner and a really good pick for POTD(IMHO)

Alexis denial is prevalent and your not in denial about that fact, nor indeed am I, also it can serve a temporary purpose, when one needs breathing space, cheers David
