Gray

I find myself

stuck all day

the sun may shine

but i see gray;

there are no colors

there's barely light

darkness surrounds

although it's not night;

heavy and slow

i drag around

air so heavy

i feel i may drown,

in tears like rain

that blurs and clouds

grayscale watercolor

that cloaks and shrouds,

hides yellows, greens and blues,

holds reds and oranges at bay

no purples, no pinks, no joyful hues,

forever and always, only gray.
