Shades Of Gray

Is it always love or hate with you?

Can we not just be friends?

Will it always be hot or cold with you?

This madness, will it end?



Can you just see me for me?

Not as evil, not as pure

Look into my eyes and tell me

If i'm the sickness, where's the cure?



With you there's never half and half

It's either wrong or exactly right

You only see to bright, or darkness falls

Please, adjust to the light



Can't you see the hurting?

Can't you feel the pain?

Or are these emotions

Just that much out of range?



Can you not see all this beauty

In the land in between

Things don't have to be perfect

They don't have to be mean



Look closely at yourself

See what's hurting more

Not seeing the good things

Or opening the door



How do you miss out on life

(it's not just night and day)

How can you just see black and white

When there's all these shades of gray

bravo.. I know how that feels you write very well, your writing is not just words it takes a person to where you were it is everything from that moment..
