Shades of Grey

A dark one.

Have i taken all i need?
Does this life hold nothing new for me?
Today comes wearing yesterday's face
All of it in order, yet all out of place

Everything looks the same
Once brilliant colors have died
Now only shades of grey remain
Fog clouds my once clear minds eye

It all feels like an illusion
A repetitive life simulation
If i destroyed the world, would it cease to be?
Or would it hold something new for me?

Everything looks the same
Once brilliant colors have died
Now only shades of grey remain
Fog clouds my once clear mind's eye
 
Please bring me back to life
I ask of you, make the colors come to light
I beg of you, rid me of this inner strife
I hear no answer, and wonder...

If i take this knife
Would i come back to life?

Author's Note

I don't usually write anything dark unless it contains some positive aspect of an ending. But sometimes we get in those moods and just have to get it out :)

Dark pieces are often easier for me to write... Although they don't necessarily reflect my mood... They're just easier.

Although nothing spectacular I did like your phrasing. The flow was pretty good as well..... Some of the lines remind me of some songs though.

It was a nice change from my usual vagueness.
There was no need to ponder a second layer slid beneath the first sheet.
Brutally honest.

The ending; a question.
I wouldn't know.
I have not the courage to find out for myself.
It is senseless taking ones life.

Great write~
Dark or not.

I really relate to your writing! I enjoyed reading this one. Great job! You express yourself quite nicely. I really love how this poem flows well and the feelings in this is really good! I love your last stanza!

I really loved these lines,
This is quite amazing!
Love the depth.

Hm, this is easy to relate to fort me. The repetition works well for the song. The song is quite depressing, maybe lost hope? But it's beautiful because the feelings are right at the surface. It says what it means and means what it says. I approve of this, it's excellent. Great job!

If you need someone to talk to, please message me. I'm a bit concerned about you but I don't want to but in unless you don't mind. And just a note, cutting or suicide is not going to help in the long run. But that's all I'll say. Please stay strong.
