We often think of life

As black white and color

But what about the gray area?

What about the wonderful shadows

Instead of the blots of ink and snow?

What about the stone and the concrete

Instead of the pinks and blues and reds?

What about the monotone scenes

Instead of living in a world of emotions?

What about the world of still

Instead of one that keeps moving?

The gray area allows freedom

The gray area allows the middle

The gray area allows you to be not okay

It allows you to be upset but not sad

It allows you to be miffed but not angry

It allows you to be light but not happy

It allows you to be alone but not secluded

The gray area allows the middle

So when you think of life

Do you think of it as blacks and whites and colors?

Or do you think of it as a gray area?
