| The color of the world after it rains for days Everything seems like a shade of gray Even the bright green grass and the shiny colorful flowers Are tinted gray Like a black and white television show Or old faded color movies Most say how dreary and yucky it is I think, �wow, I know this place well� Wondering if my external eyes are really seeing this For me, this is shocking The outside world similar to the one in my mind The only difference is the outside world will go away The colors will come back And everyone will forget the somber world For in a day, a hour, or a minute The sun will brake through the gray clouds The birds fly out of the shelter they took refuge in Back to the usual, flying high and targeting cars with their colorful droppings The grass reflecting the light from the sun, sparkling Transforming the grim world into enchanting beauty The world in my mind stays forever grim Seeing the beauty and dismissing it as a dream For my reality is the shades of gray Absence of light. |
