SHADES OF GRAY

All the things surrounding me
mean nothing much at all,
For what in Life left for me is hid behind a wall
Of Fate and Hope and Luck and Chance,
Of Happenings and Circumstance.

There’s safety in the still of night,
When no one else can see
The tears, the pain, the loneliness that life has left with me.
And I watch the colors fade away,
As life becomes Shades of Gray.
