I love my colours
Soft, bright, black, white
Each one carrying its own touch
But there's something about grey
That draws me in
Like the sight of the dark clouds
Rolling in before the rain
Sometimes I like to stand there
Eyes closed
Arms wide open
Feeling the soothing wind
Soaking in the terrifying storms
Breathing in all the grey
Sometimes lighter, calmer
Sometimes darker, angrier
Ever changing
A shade for every mood
And in that moment
Staring at the rumbling clouds
I feel a connection
Like we understand one another
The layers
The shades
The complexities
Of every single moment that has made us
A mix of emotions
A mix of traits
Carrying wonder, joy
Carrying pain, suffering
All of it
Stuffed in one package
Trying to make sense of the world
While still not able to make sense of ourselves
And to know us
You have to peel the layers
See the fear with the hope
Feel the terror with the joy
Knowing
That you may never really be able to pin us down
Because we never stay still
We’re ever changing
Our grey from yesterday
Might be different from the grey of tomorrow
And maybe that's scary
Maybe that's confusing
But maybe that's who we are.
