Finding Grey
Chaos and peace and…
discipline and structure and…
abandon and wild.
Right,
Left, right, left, right, left, dark, light, black, white,
grey, grey, wise.
Combinations and grey.
But never enough and goes back to black and white and then feelings and then I explode red. Sad because I can’t control life and I can’t control me and I don’t like the grey, and I don’t like the grey and I am supposed to try and I don’t know how and
IT
IS
SO
HARD.
Left wanting not to cry, but Right says to and I do and I can’t control it and it
hurts and makes me angry and sad and small and I just want to
STOP.
But I can’t because life has to go on.
So I read because it combines the left and the right and the black and white and I finally, for a short time, can land on grey, even if it isn’t real.
