The rainbow we say is a spectrum of light
but how could it betray with so much darkness?
and dreams may live in the realm of nightmares?
Its existence revealing as a paradox in hindsight
Notoriously known as "Roy G. Biv"
It violently takes hold of your minds sight,
and is deceitful when giving
---
I could never find myself,
there are colors in every step
chaos and confusion with every breath
I could never trust the reign of those that promise benevolence
the rain of bows is all I get,
and the arrows of reality unspent
The colors of its arc set in its ordained place,
never to deviate their path of way
Floating in a false utopia ray,
birth in the sunshine after rain
---
Fading faster than it appears,
it promises bliss that is never actualized
Pessimistic to ideas,
quick to idolize the glitz that mesmerize
fall in line, it commands
to become what it dictates
To conform to colors, forms, and shapes,
obstructive to heavens gaze
---
My happiness exists in grey
A shade that never throws shades,
it is non-judgemental
It is the day that guides one’s path of way,
a shield from lingering plagues
Existing in the in-between,
I look upon the hazy skies for divine grace
---
Grey is extensive,
giving room for love and acceptance
It evolves beyond spectrums,
and does not obsess over colors presence
It has no confined layers,
it is clear and has no hidden agendas
A balance of all worlds,
and acknowledgment of our inner powers
A medium to all gods,
exhuming signs and wonders
---
A world of dismay is then restored by grey
a paradigm shift of possibilities that were once frail
a force unwavering in its quest,
to break the bounds of every rainbow chest
It is the freedom that infers no conditions
a neutral world of good intentions
A contrast to the deceits of powers that be,
a map to heavens gleam
With that, I hold my chest and say
My happiness is found in the breast of the cloudy Grey

I find myself drifting into words, I can't help it and I don't mind it. It's almost as if reality is the invader and my imagination a pure bliss of theraputic nostalgia. I hope your experience reading them are enjoyable.
