Gray Is Just the Start

A Modern Ode to Gray

By MoriahPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Just the beginning

It is not the color of a cloud

Following above my head

Telling me that I should dread

My favorite long-sleeve

An epiphany based of swirls

An empty eyeshadow palette

An oil-painting party-train

The side of my palm

After a page of notes is

Smeared and covered in

Doodles of flowers

The sides of my arms

After a new wall is

Drenched and drying with

Intricacies of landscapes

An expression of self

After unforeseen hurdles

Learning to be set free

Not locked up in used-to-be

My trusty no. 2 pencil

Littering between two lines

On white sheets of possibility

Bound up and kept close by

Just the beginning

It is the color of my life ennewed

Following along my self-esteem

Telling me that I should dream

inspirational
