Different Shades Of Grey

At some stage, we all need to learn

That there is more than just black and white,

There are many different shades of grey

And most of them will be right.

***

We need to learn that almost everyone

Is dealing with a hard luck story of some kind,

So they may seem okay to you today

But falling apart when alone and confined.

***

So behind every smiling face,

Pain, worry or tears may quietly hide,

Not for the every day world to see

Where a careless remark may deride.

***

That popular joker, the one always laughing

May be totally miserable behind closed doors,

Remember this when quietly judging others

Just as you don’t show what’s behind yours.
