GRAY
by DAEZY
Does the world have a voice of it’s own?
Or do we create it?
Do we demand control over something far more powerful?
Or do we just sedate it?
The questions of a human being are always involving the word “solve.”
We thirst for something bigger, stronger,
As time moves on, and we evolve.
So for those who see in black and white,
I am your perfect shade of gray.
Because I am not the belle of the ball,
The trendsetter,
Or the smart one.
I am just your normal teen
With a new idea
To bring to the scene.
I will announce it to the world.
“I’m just a normal girl,
But I am on a quest for difference!
I am not afraid of change!
So for those trapped in a world of black and white,
DARE to be a shade of gray!”
The world is ever-changing now,
But we can change it for the better!
We just have to open our hearts and minds to a new idea.
Be different, or rather be courageous!
I see the world in black, white, and gray.
Because for every dark storm cloud, a white cloud.
For every hurricane, a rainbow.
For every hungry child, a well-fed one.
For every depressed teen, an anti-depressant.
The world has numerous good and bad colors.
But gray divides them.
Gray is neutral.
So am I.
So why not be prepared for gray?
