Poem – Red Flags & Fear
~ By Lilly Hope Lucario
A life of pain
Learned so very young
Watch, discern and fear
Their many red flags
.
Learned from masters
Of lies, harm, manipulation
They taught me deeply
Of worst in humanity
.
Testing continual
My subconscious mind
I will find your lies
And your red flags
Love this song, and the lyrics. I ‘get’ these lyrics.
The reference to ‘red flags’ in particular – resonates. My life is about fear of red flags.
Lyrics
A new school mum friend had kindly asked me if I wanted to go for coffee today, which was nice, but she needed to postpone due to being really tired after working extra hours into the night.
So, I forced myself to go out and not stay home all day. My depression is pretty bad and I am struggling, but on the days I can do stuff, I do.
Went to the shops and bought some education reading books for my 6 year old. He is very bright and very advanced for his age academically and I want to encourage his passion and love of for learning. Bought some craft stuff as well ready for the upcoming school holidays.
Found this artist via Relevant Magazine, and I love him already.
He has a background of child abuse, with mentally ill parents, is a Christian and writes about his life and faith, in a way I relate to, that is far more ‘real’ to me, than so much worship music – which I do not relate to – because I am not your average church person.
I am glad to see more real music, created for Christians to enjoy.

His music is beautiful. Deep, emotional, eerily haunting.
My type of music.
