This feeling inside
Is not sad
Is not happy
Is not despair
Is not longing
It is not this
Nor is it that
Is not here
Nor is it there
It is gray.
It is the gray of the sky before it decides to be night or to be day.
It is the gray that develops once we hit the age where we realize
there isn't always a black and a white.
When there is no clear good and bad.
Only opinions
Versus rules
Versus morals
Versus religion
Versus God
Versus urges
Versus expectation
Versus common sense.
It is all gray.
Gray is the color of life when all the brightness has gone away.
Gray is the color of love when the feelings have dimmed and it becomes a job.
Gray is the color of fears that help people grow.
Gray is the color of reality.
Gray is not good.
It is not bad.
It is not happy.
It is not sad.
Gray doesn't sting.
Gray doesn't comfort.
Gray is for when black and white have to marry.
When decisions with no right answer must be made.
Gray is the color of life.
Gray is the color of the feeling inside.
