Scared

Scared is what I am when I am in the grey

Is it grey or is it gray?

Grey is the color of the in between

Grey is the bleak feeling of the repetition in life

Grey is uncertainty

In between happy and sad and nothing

In between the everyday chaos and the quiet of the night

In between the adjustments to new realities

Scared is what I feel when I am in the grey

Scared of me in the in between

Scared of the grey because I am

Scared of myself

Scared of feeling nothing

Scared of not believing that grey is okay

Grey is my mind everyday

I just want grey to make way

Make way for colors that faded away

Grey, will you let them come back and stay?
