Fighting Grey

Fighting the greyness that blinds me

My words are lost

My face a mess

Everything so far has been a test

 

My hands are swollen

Bloodied, torn

One glance at me

I am forlorn

 

To tired of fighting with beaten gloves

For saying I’m sorry

For saying I’m done

To tired of saying I tried really hard

For getting back up when the battle was lost

To bruised and battered to remember a day

A day I could smile or laugh till I was gay

Everything now is bleak and bloodstained

Lost in a hazy shade of grey

Nice written!!
That's great!!
Love this very much, especially when it's true that you just use 5 minute and after that, no editing!!!! If it's me, I probably fail, I need to edit it, not like yours, great job!!!!!!!!!!

Nice piece.. the emotion is vivid and well described.
I like this idea of yours.. most of my writes are either two or five minute writes. Anything above that are like.. 45 minutes writes, with more pausing and hestitation than anything else.
Really nice job again.
