Gray
There is grayness in this world
Some place in between
It’s like dark matter
You can’t see it
But you damn sure feel it
It’s the sadness of knowing you will
Lose everything
Nothing is worth keeping
Perhaps gray will be my favorite color
Then I won’t have to decide
There will be no black and white in my life
Just indifference
Will that make me a bad person?
Weak without a purpose
A minion of the powerful
Another gray life in a long line of gray lives?
Did I give up?
Did I say I gave up?
Or did I say I just don’t give a damn?
It’s not for me to say.
It’s just that so many things have been traveling
For so long with no destination
Only to end up somewhere they belonged
But never intended to be
You see if you flip a coin
You can see your life
And if you call it in the air
When it lands
The traveling hands of time will have been invoked
And you will have gained or lost everything
