grey

it's this huge cloud
grey, with shades of white and black
spots of black all over
bits of light shining through it

but most of it is grey
hard to see through
it's even worse than being black
at least black does not give you a hope of seeing through it

but the grey?

you know that you know what lies ahead
but it's still clouded

you know you want to know what lies ahead
but the bits of black in the grey
don't let you see clearly

the light shining through the cloud?
i wish i could make myself fit through those holes of light
and break free

but something clings on to me
not letting me fit in those gaps
not letting me be flexible enough
and be free

something that loves grey
something that can never know the difference between black and white
but always, only grey

something that doesn't have the courage
to follow the light
but is stuck forever
behind this cloud of grey

something that even knows what the light will lead to
knowing I need to go beyond this cloud
it holds on to all the things on this side of it

beyond this, is liberation
but here, there is comfort

this something just clings on and seems like it will never let go..
i think i know what it is.
i call it me.
