Grey Scale

Day 1: It had begun

My life, starting off all right

And though I had the bright, bright sun

It couldn’t save me from the night

It throbbed in me

I couldn’t understand

Like life had a fee

And I was part of the wrong plan

The days got darker

And the nights brought me light

That; That was the marker

My color range was tight

I sat sometimes

In deep disarray

And would stand at the chimes

To end another grey day

My eyes were bleeding

No one could understand

But all the work was feeding

Feeding away from colors command

It threw its arms around me

Its presence, it was cold

But that thing was filled with glee

Glee, to see me slowly mold

I was all alone

The anxiety took the prize

I turned it over, changed the tone

Listened to all its lies

The hue and saturation

The brightness, the darkness, the light

Proved to me, the damnation

The fight I couldn’t fight

Running, crying

Into the dark world

The colors streaked by me

Proving every level

A tiny little pothole

That left me littler each time

The grass was swaying

In the dark, white meadow

I sat down, doing the praying

While the wind, on me did blow

They splattered on the ground

Those tears of black

And they bled into the ground, hoping to be found

But the earth wouldn’t give them back

I was waiting for the rain

The only thing that I loved

The thing that saved me from the pain

For it to, the world did shove

I felt the breeze of the final me

I am waiting for it to hail

The shades I saw and had seen...

The world was my grey scale
