Shades of Gray

The smoke that fills my lungs

Brings a sense of calming

To me I feel trapped

Until I am freed like the wisps of smoke

Around me rise up to the sky

The sky we have all touched

Once or twice

 

Glowing beyond me lights brighten

If I try hard enough I will escape

Into the surrounding brightness

Why is the world suck a tangled mess?

A ball of twine knotted too much

Is there any hope

of redemtion?

 

I lay awake staring at the dark

As hard as I try I cannot let it consume me

In a place stuck between light and dark

I look for an opening in the binding walls

The wind calls my name

Is it wispering friend

or foe?

 

Of all the hearts falling on the floor

Mine has fallen some time ago

Will someone find and mend it?

Or will it be stepped on all over again?

From ashes to ashes

And dust to dust

The walls around me crumble

 

I feel the ocean at my feet

This illusion is too much to handle

These lies I've started believing

i try hard to escape into surrounding brightness..why is everything around falling
is there no more hope..i go back and forth in light and dark..i look for an opening in these walls
someone is calling like the wind is it a friendly or hostile
my heart falls to the ground..will it mend again,or stepped on again and again
