Grey



There Were Times
When Everything Became Grey
When The Earth Capsized

It Became:
Grey,
Shrunk,
Depressed,

There Were Times
When Everything Became Grey
When I Was Ostracized

Judged,
Hated,
Scorned,
Rejected,
Mocked,

There Were Times
When Everything Became Grey
Then I Became Troubled

Restless,
Confused,
Uncertain,
Fearful,

There Were Times
When Everything Became Grey
When I Lost Everything
Then I Discovered Myself

Recovered All:

Purpose,
Career,
Relationship,
Fulfilment,

Grey Changed Me
Grey Gave Me Everything
