Shades of Grey

I walk this world in shades of grey,
I see the grey trees, grey sky, grey grass,
I listen to the people speak in shades of grey,
Giving arguements clear as black and white,
But even black and white are shades of grey.

I see my reflection and I am grey,
I do not love, my heart is grey,
I do not sing, my soul is grey,
I do not dream, my mind is grey,
I do not smile, my mouth is grey,
I do not shine, my eyes are grey,
I do not show, I am grey.

But in this world, I see a light,
A tiny red spot among the grey,
I reach out and the glow spreads up my arm,
The red reaches out and takes my hand,
But yet I feel nothing,
I turn my head and see the light,
From the corner of my eye I see the light,
Even the red light has turned grey.

I want to get rid of the grey,
I want to love, a passionate red,
I want to sing, a flowing blue,
I want to dream, a beautiful purple,
I want to smile, a joyful yellow,
I want to shine, a blazing orange,
I want to show, a gentle green,
And do away with all the grey.

I would paint my world of grey,
With all the colors that can be felt,
But all the colors that I hold,
All my paint is in shades of grey.

I can officially say that the grey coulds have parted and now a bright blue sky shines upon my world, however, as of yet there is still no sun, and all else remains grey, but there is now hope that all the grey shall eventually disappear.
