The Feeling of Gray
I am gray. 
 
 I am 
 tired 
 and 
 quiet 
 and 
 neutral. 
 
 My shirt 
 is 
 gray, 
 my mind 
 is
 gray. 
 
 No 
 feeling 
 is 
 about me. 
 
 I am too mixed up, 
 the colours 
 all blending
 together 
 until you can't tell the 
 blues 
 from the 
 pinks 
 from the 
 yellows. 
 
 
 All 
 I 
 know 
 is 
 that
 I 
 am 
 tired.
 
 Tired of 
 not knowing, 
 not knowing,
 not knowing. 
 
 
 
 I am the gray of 
 uncertainty, 
 mashed 
 somewhere 
 in 
 between. 
 
 
 I am 
 unsure, 
 unsure, 
 unsure. 
 
 
 
 
 I am 
 shrouded  
 in gray, 
 all 
 wrapped up. 
 
 
 It 
 billows 
 around me, 
 this 
 suffocating,
 stifling, 
 shameful 
 gray. 
 
 
 It 
 d r  a  g  s, 
 pulls, 
 entices, 
 until I can no longer tell 
 UP from down, 
 left from right. 
 
 It 
 pushes,
 pins, 
 presses
 until we become one,
 the gray and I. 
 
 Until  
 I begin to 
 fall,
 f-f-falter, 
 f a  d  e   a   w    a
 y.
