We live a monochromatic life,
but some people only see grayscale.
Even then, it's only black and white.
The monochrome people..
They're happy.. Right?

The grayscale people..
are not a pleasant sight,
We're killing ourselves.
We only see im black and white,
It's this or that..
there's no in between.
We make the same mistakes over and over because we're too blind to see the gray spots.


The author's comments:

Well, to be completely honest this poem was originally supposed to be about making decisions and how if we see only in black and white then we'll keep doing the same things over and over again.. But a friend of mine put it in an interesting way, she said that this poem reminded her of art. Like the grayscale in art, the deeper you go into it the more pain you feel.. but when you go to white you see nothing.. So you're stuck seeing the same color fade then going back to pain. This poem originated from a person i know whom is no longer friends with me because we arent dating, to her it's either we're dating or we're nothing. That's how i got the idea of this poem but while writing it my mind veered into a different direction. Honestly.. It's a bit short, i might end up adding more to it.
