colorize - a collage & poem by Suzy Gilbert

black & white

Life, a dichotomy

Do we embrace it

Fight for a side

Good vs. Bad

Or ignore & pretend

Everything is fine

Pretending is surviving

Life sucks

Accept it

You’re not special

You are special

You deserve everything

Wants, needs & more

It’s not really a dichotomy

Just the borderline in my brain

Splitting the world,

It’s people

Into 2

good & bad

no room for grey.

grey

Life, messy & complex

Lived in all day, everyday

Balancing between black & white

Light & dark

Optimistic & pessimistic

Find the middle

Find the straight & narrow

The wise mind

Grey takes on temperature

Warm & cold

Everyday motions

Shades & shapes

Morph into colours.

colour

Life, a collage of colours

A spinning wheel

Wavelengths of colour

RGB

Greyscale

Monochromatic

Analogous

Tetradic

Complimentary

Some skew light

Some skew dark

Some are bold

Pure & genuine

Every colour

An individual

Unique & special

Be bold & balanced

In the middle

The best of both

Purely you

Whatever colour

Whatever shade

True beauty.
